Defiance 50k

The Defiance 50K, 30K, 15K, and 3-Person 50K Relay is a scenic trail running event held in Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, Washington. The race features a 9.75-mile (15.7 km) loop through over 700 acres of old growth forest, including 500-year-old cedars and firs, with panoramic views of Puget Sound. Participants run one to three loops depending on their chosen distance, all starting and finishing at Owen Beach.

The mostly single-track course is hilly but 95% runnable and typically dry in mid-October. The event offers finisher medals, tech shirts, aid stations, and a supportive atmosphere in one of the top urban parks in the U.S. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
