Mountain Marathon and Hillbilly Half @ Capitol Forest, Rock Candy Parking Lot
Mar 7 @ 7:30 am
Mountain Marathon and Hillbilly Half @ Capitol Forest, Rock Candy Parking Lot | Washington | United States

Dubbed as the hardest half and full marathon in Washington State, this race is sure to challenge anyone looking for a nontraditional experience in the woods near Grays Harbor. Located in Capitol Forest near Rock Candy Mountain, this race leads you through heavily forested trails to beautiful views before the finish line. However, to get to the end, the trail takes you up steep climbs, muddy paths and over fallen branches. Limited to 300 participants, each runner will get a t-shirt and all finishers get a commemorative beer stein. This is a tough race, but is great fun for those looking to push themselves on a unique run.
