Mount Rainier Half Marathon

Mount Rainier Half Marathon, a Vacation Races event, is held at Crystal Mountain Resort near Mount Rainier in Enumclaw, Washington. The weekend features multiple races, including the Half Marathon (13.1 miles) with about 2,400 feet of descent, starting at the summit and finishing at the resort base; the course is fast, scenic, and downhill-heavy across forested trails, ridgelines, and meadows. Additional events include a 5K on a shaded forest road, a Downhill 10K, and various Double/Triple challenge options.

A key feature is the all-day gondola pass after racing, plus expo, bib pickup, and on-site camping at the VR Campground. Parking is at Crystal Mountain Lot B. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
