FUNDRAISER
This race was created as a fundraiser for Interfaith Works Emergency Overnight Shelter which provides critical support for the homeless community of Olympia and Thurston County. A portion of the proceeds from each race entry goes directly to the shelter. Over the past three years we've been able to donate a total of $17,000!
Want to do more? Clean our your closets and bring any clean, unwanted shoes, jackets, clothing, sleeping bags, blankets, socks, gloves, and hats to be donated to the shelter. You can also check out their website for a wish list of the items most needed for the shelter. What seems like a little thing to us can mean a big difference to someone in need. Click here to visit their donation page to view the wish list or to donate directly to the shelter.
REGISTRATION
Registration will open in January 5th, 2019 via UltraSignup. There are no finisher medals, but your entry fee includes free food and drink for you and your family/friends after the race.
50K: $95
30K: $75
10K: $45
Registered runners who cannot make the race can cancel their registration up to 7 days prior to the race and receive a percentage credit towards a future Rainshadow race. There are no refunds on registrations or shirts. Click here for our full cancellation policy and instructions on how to cancel your registration.
Race shirts will be available for purchase during registration until about 4 weeks before race day. Runners will have the option to add on either a technical style running shirt or a soft and cozy cotton blend tee, both featuring the race artwork designed by Seattle artist, Baylie Peplow, of Red Umbrella Designs.
COURSE
This race course is fun and relatively flat, with only ~300 feet of elevation gain per 10K loop, it makes for a great beginner race or for someone wanting a fast time on a beautiful course. The route is mostly single track and meanders through dense and mossy old growth forest, past lakes and alongside babbling creeks. The 10K will complete one loop, the 30K will complete 3 loops, and the 50K will complete 5 loops.
Runners have until 4:00 pm to finish the race.

TIMELINE
Saturday June 15th, 2019
*All runners will need to show their photo I.D. to pick up their bib. No one is allowed to pick up someone else's bib.
PARKING/DRIVING DIRECTIONS
The race starts and finishes at Millersylvania State Park, near Olympia, Washington. This is also where runners will pick up their bib and where all volunteers check in. We will have event parking signs to follow once you enter the park and volunteers to help you park in the morning. You do need a Discover Pass to park here. You can buy a $10 day pass at the park or you can purchase an annual pass for $30 (a great way to support our parks)!
AID STATIONS
Each loop is 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). The 30K will do three loops and the 50K will complete 5 loops. Each aid station will be stocked with water, Nuun electrolyte drink, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, fresh fruit, chips, pickles, and assorted cookies or candy. We will have a variety of gels, but we do ask that you only use those to supplement what you are providing for yourself. There will also be first aid supplies, sunscreen, bug spray, and feminine hygiene products for issues that arise on the course. Please ask a volunteer for any of these items.
POST RACE PARTY/DOGS
Like any Rainshadow race, we encourage you to stick around and cheer on your fellow runners after your race. We will have plenty of post race snacks and local craft beer. The race finish is set on a lake, so bring your blanket or favorite lawn game (and swimsuit to swim in the lake for the extra brave). The race is family friendly and leashed, well behaved dogs are welcome.
We will have Pizza Rocks serving us tasty wood-fired pizza all day and local bluegrass band, the Oly Mountain Boys, will be providing live music. Food and drink is free for all runners and their friends or family and volunteers, but unfortunately is not available to the public. You must be a part of the event to enjoy the post race goodies. Thanks for your understanding.
VOLUNTEERS
We need volunteers to help work the aid station, parking or check-in, the finish/timing table, and post race food. If you are interested or able to volunteer, please email Elizabeth at volunteer@rainshadowrunning.com. All volunteers get to eat and drink for free and earn a discount credit towards a future Rainshadow Running race.
CANCELLATION POLICY
We do not offer refunds for any of our races, but runners have the option to cancel their registration (up to 7 days prior to the race) to receive a partial credit. Please click here to view our cancellation policy, including rolling over your registration or receiving partial credit towards a future Rainshadow race.
Runners also have the option to sell or give away their bib. All transfers must be completed 7 days prior to race day. Click here to view our policies page with instructions on how to transfer your bib. We have created a bib transfer spreadsheet where people can connect with other runners who are looking to buy or sell a bib. The transfer is a two step process and needs to be completed by both the original runner and the recipient. If the recipient fails to properly complete the transfer and we do not have their electronically signed waiver on race day, they will not be allowed to run. If you are unsure if your registration went through, check the entrants list right away on Ultra Signup and if you are still unsure, please email us AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE RACE.
