ORCAS ISLAND
50K & 25K
June 7 & 8 2025 Olga, WA
Overview
The Orcas Island 50K & 25K races are unique in the trail running world, with old-growth forests, tough climbs, and spectacular views of the surrounding islands, mountains, and Puget Sound - but what truly sets it apart is the chance to hang out all weekend on a gorgeous island with your trail runner friends. The trails vary from smooth and fast to rooty, rocky and steep but always amazing! And now with the switch to a June weekend and a move of the start/finish area to the beautiful, seaside Doe Bay Resort the races will be even more fun than ever before!
We highly recommend booking your lodging or camping at Doe Bay and making a long weekend out of your trip to Orcas. Spending three nights or more on the island, especially at Doe Bay, where you can just relax and take full advantage of all that Orcas offers is really the way to make the most of your race weekend. Orcas isn't the easiest place to get to so why not stay awhile and really soak in the island vibes? And to sweeten the deal if you stay more than 3 nights at Doe Bay each additional night will be 50% off! See the lodging section below for more details.
Note: Staying at Doe Bay Resort is NOT required for participation in the race. We just recommend it because it's cool! :)

New Start/Finish Area: Doe Bay Resort!
Since 2006 our Orcas races have started and finished at Camp Moran and it was a good home base for us. But parking everyone was always tricky and then after last year's races we were told it would be even more limited going forward. That meant we needed to find a new home and Doe Bay Resort was the perfect and natural choice. They've supported our races since the very beginning and many of our runners have stayed there over the years. And with the resort being situated on the edge of the park and next to the water we get the best of both of both worlds, the sea and the mountains, in one spot. And with their experience of hosting many large community grassroots events over the years including the world famous Doe Bay Fest and Imagine Fest we'll fit right in with the awesome vibe they have there.
At the resort there is also their relaxing outdoor soaking tubs and sauna, the Doe Bay Cafe where most of the delicious food they cook is grown right there in the resort's garden, and with Otter Lounge, Doe Bay Store and more the resort has a variety of amenities to help everyone feel at ease. Reservations required for the soaking tubs and reservations recommended for the cafe.
Staying at Doe Bay at this time of year does require a 3 night minimum reservation which is great excuse to make a real vacation out of your trip. Onsite they have a wide variety of lodging options including various sized cabins, yurts, domes, and individual campsites (which is different from the "field camping" options we'll have available on the race registration page). Each lodging option has it's own feel and character so be sure to browse around and see what's available. More details here and Interactive Resort Map (click on the icons for info about each place).
More about the camping options... There are two main types of camping available for our event: resort camping and field camping. Resort camping is for individual specific sites that the resort makes available on a regular basis, these sites have various amenities, characteristics, and price points. To reserve a resort camping site follow the instructions below for Doe Bay accommodations reservations. Field camping is a more basic option where it's more like camping at a festival where there will be an assigned area at the resort where you can setup your tent anywhere in that assigned area and there will be bathrooms nearby but no other amenities provided (other than the general resort and race amenities that are available to all event attendees). Parking for those with a field camping reservation will be off-site, so after you drop off your camping stuff at the resort you'll then park at the parking area and take a short shuttle ride back to the resort. To reserve a field camping site you can do so when you register for the race or if you've already registered and you want to add field camping we can do that too just email [email protected] the cost will be $100 per tent which includes three nights of camping (Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights).
To make your Doe Bay accommodations reservations you can call (360)376-2291 or you can book online by following these steps:

Course Details
- The courses will be well marked with yellow & black arrow signs at each junction and pink & black checkered confidence ribbons every half mile or so.
- The courses are mostly single track trails, sometimes smooth trail but just as often they're rocky and or rooty and sometimes muddy in a few spots. There's about a half mile of pavement at the start and again at the finish. You'll mostly be in the shade of big old trees. The average temperatures on Orcas in June are highs of 65 degrees and lows of 50 degrees.
Aid Stations
Each aid station will be stocked with water, Gnarly electrolyte drink, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, fresh fruit, chips, pickles, and assorted cookies or candy. We will have a variety of GU 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 and feminine hygiene products for issues that arise on the course.
Our volunteers are tracking all runners at the aid stations, so please wear your bib visibly on the front of your body.

Possibly No Crew Access to Race Course (stay tuned)
We acknowledge that many runners enjoy having their friends and family support them at various aid stations or other points along the race course and we understand how much fun that can be for everyone. But for this race it may not be possible, there just isn't enough parking in the park and the parking lots that do exist are small and can already get overwhelmed with other trail users and it's a condition of our permit with the park that we don't monopolize the park's limited infrastructure. We'll be looking into shuttles and other creative solutions for your crew members to be able to see you at on the course but it just might not be possible so please don't count on it and if we can work something out that will just be a bonus.
Luckily there is no shortage for fun things for your friends and family to do at Doe Bay and or around the island while they wait for your arrival at the finish line! And friends and family are definitely encouraged to be join us at Doe Bay for the race weekend in general and like we said if we can work something out for them to see you on the course we'll let ya know.

Drop Bags
For those not familiar with drop bags, it's a way for you to have certain items at specific aid stations. If you like to have a certain kind of nutrition or specific brand of electrolyte, you can put those in your bag and restock at the aid station instead of carrying it the whole way. Some people leave extra layers of clothing, gloves or hats, or dry socks in their bags. Runners are responsible for providing their own bag.
Runners can have drop bags at each of the aid stations.
There will be tarps set up at check-in, one for each aid station location, along with duct tape and sharpies. Runners are allowed one bag per location and should be labeled with: name, bib number, and aid station name. Our volunteers will be transporting the bags to to the aid station and back to the finish once they close for the day.
Runners can also leave a drop bag at the finish area for when they are done. Plan to bring the bag during morning check in and there will be a designated tarp/tent to leave it during the race.
The drop bags at the aid stations will return to the start/finish once all the runners have come through so it might be awhile for the drop bags to return if you're a faster runner, especially from the last aid station.

Cut-off Times
In order to keep our race on schedule and within the time limits of our permits, we have cut off times at the aid stations. If you are not leaving the aid station by the cut off time, you will be given a ride back to the finish area by staff or volunteers.

25K Cut off times
Although these are public trails, you are participating on them as a registered participant of our event and by signing up for the race, you agree to follow our rules and conditions for completing (or not completing) the race. Our sweeps will be leaving right at cut off time, taking down course markings with them. If you refuse to leave the course after cut off and end up getting lost or injured, requiring search and rescue, our permitting agency could look at that as negligence on our end (allowing runners on the course with no course markings or after the time we agreed to stop people). We take this rule seriously and as it puts our permits in jeopardy, if any runner violates this rule, they may be subject to a ban from future races.

If Rainshadow Cancels a Race...
If we have to cancel an event for any reason (COVID, wildfire, acts of nature, etc.) we understand the disappointment to the participants. But it's something that does happen from time to time so you should be prepared for that possibility.
We will do our best to notify runners as soon as we can but sometimes it may be a last minute situation.
All runners will be sent an email as soon as possible with information about the cancellation and any other pertinent info including what their options are and the deadline for letting us know their decision. If the reason for cancelling the race is something out of our control like something weather or COVID related we will likely offer runners a 50% credit towards a future race as the we see it both the runners and Rainshadow share the risk of a cancelled race equally.
We understand how much money, energy, and time goes into training for an ultramarathon, so if we can make adjustments to our race plans instead of cancelling, that is our priority, but at the end of the day, the safety of our runners, volunteers, staff, and the general public will be the main factor in our decision to cancel.
