hideRainier to Ruston Rail-Trail Relay and Ultra
June 2, 2012 (Saturday)
Time: 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM| Location: | Race headquarters at the fire station and Community Center
South Prairie, WA
|
This is the 10th anniversary of "An Adventure in Your Own Backyard!" a celebration of National Trails Day, June 2, 2012.
Walkers and runners can do a half marathon (13.1 miles) or a marathon+ (27.7 miles).
Ultras can tackle the 50K (Mountain to Orting) or the 50M (Mountain to Ruston Way).
Running relay teams of 2, 3, 4 and 6 people race 50M from The Mountain to the Sound.
The course follows the Foothills Trail from the shoulders of Mt. Rainier to the shores of Puget Sound. The trail passes through pristine wilderness and historic communities, following the old Northern Pacific railroad grade that once brought settlers and supplies into the west.
The Rainer to Ruston helps to promote the Foothills Rails-to-Trails Coalition, a 501(c)(3) which is dedicated to completing a contiguous, non-motorized, public trail from the town of Buckley and Mt. Rainier to Ruston Way in Tacoma.
Volunteers are welcome. Come join the fun and receive a complimentary t-shirt! Click on the VOLUNTEER! link in the left column of the Coalition website homepage.
