Taking place at Deception Pass State Park which is named for the narrow and dramatic channel of water that separates Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands in the northern Puget Sound. The area is famous for it's rugged coastline, steep cliffs, dense forests and great views. The race covers just about every inch of the park, running at times right at sea level and other times high above on bluffs and hills and twice crosses the pass itself via the historic Deception Pass Bridge which sits about 180 feet above the water. There are no mountains or long climbs like many of our other Rainshadow Running Races but make no mistake Deception Pass races are still tough with it's technical footing, narrow, twisty trails and at times steep grades. They maybe be some of our faster courses but it's still a good challenge!Elevation Gain: 4,300 ft
Elevation Loss: 4,300 ft
Aid Stations: 5
Cutoff Time: 8 hours

Our post race parties (free for participants and volunteers) are just as awesome as the races themselves! Fresh, delicious pizza handmade on site by our good friends at Pizza Rocks (they do GF and Vegan options grab one of the merry folks and ask them to make something for ya). Local beer and cider. Plus other food and drinks and music and all your running buddies all hanging out and cheering for each other at the finish line.
