OAT Run

OAT Run, the Olympic Adventure Trail Run, is held in Port Angeles, Washington, on April 10, 2027, with three trail distances: the 50K (31 miles) at 6:00 a.m., the half marathon (20.6 km, 12.8 miles) at 7:00 a.m., and the 12K (11.7 km, 7.3 miles) at 10:00 a.m. The courses run through lush forest with views over the Elwha River valley, in the country between Olympic National Park and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Fields are capped, and the routes are well marked with aid stations and race photos along the way.

Afterward, the gathering at Extreme Sports Park includes food, drinks, and a beer garden supporting a local nonprofit, with proceeds going to regional trail maintenance groups. For the 50K, build over three to four months with long weekend runs on trail and deliberate practice at hiking the climbs; the 12K is the easiest way in if you usually race on the road.
