Beast Of Big Creek

The Beast of Big Creek is a challenging mountain trail running event held at Big Creek Campground near Hoodsport, Washington, in the Olympic Mountains. The highlight is the Skyrace, a 22K (14-mile) course ascending over 5,200 feet to the summit of Mount Ellinor and back, certified by the International Skyrunning Federation and part of the Vert Running Series. A shorter 8K (5-mile) Forest Loop offers a gentler 1,200-foot climb through old-growth forest along streams.

New for 2025 is the Double Beast, combining both races over two days. The event features aid stations, a finish line BBQ, camping, and a festive atmosphere celebrating mountain running in the Pacific Northwest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
