Name: Deception Pass Trail Retreat
Start: 2024-10-25T15:00:00-07:00
Location: Cornet Bay Retreat Center

Our races are popular for a few key reasons: beautiful locations, fun trails, lots of great food and drinks, and people that you love to hang out with all day. With our Deception Pass Trail Retreat we wanted to take those things we're already good at and (pun intended) run with it!
Join us the last weekend in October at Cornet Bay Retreat Center at Deception Pass State Park for a weekend of connection and exploration. Runs and hikes on the park's beautiful seaside trails will be offered Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as other fun group activities and meals. Use the weekend to relax while simultaneously getting your mileage. Treat it like a challenge and see how much of the park you can explore or come get a taste of what trail running is like in a low stress, non-competitive and supportive environment. Or use it as scouting and training for our Deception Pass 50K or 25K races in December.
Friday and Sunday will be shorter jaunts (in the one to two hour range) with Saturday providing the best opportunity to cover as much or as little ground as you'd like (options for anywhere from one to eight plus hours). We'll provide the support and infrastructure so you can just have fun! The retreat is perfect for both those new to trails and seasoned veterans as each day can be tailored to anyone's interests and abilities.
Think summer camp for runners and hikers with bunkhouse lodging, communal meals, campfire s'mores & storytelling, yoga, live music, and other fun and games! We hope you join us for a fun weekend of trails and celebration!
