Event notes
The Great Olympic Adventure Trail Run (GOAT Run) is a one-way trail marathon and half marathon that traverses Kelly Ridge between the Olympic National Park and the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington State.

The marathon course starts near the Elwha River, just ½ mile from the start of a landmark dam removal project. The one-way route follows the entire length of the Adventure Trail, 21+ miles of single-track trail and 4 miles of forest road. The final ¾ mile of the race is on a paved road, finishing with a bang as runners enter Olympic National Park at the deep, glacially carved Lake Crescent. Famous for its turquoise blue waters of exceptional clarity, the lake is the perfect place to end the race.

***NOTE: For 2017, there may be a partial re-route on the full marathon course due to timber harvest activities along the trail- please check our website as the season progresses.

The finish line is at Log Cabin Resort on the lake, with stunning lake and mountain views, food, and fun. There are rooms, cabins, and campsites at the resort (how great would it be to have your room right at the finish line!!), as well as public showers, restrooms, beach, restaurant, and beer!

The course reaches a maximum elevation of 1,619 feet, with a cumulative elevation gain of 3,519 feet over the 26.2-mile course. Challenging? Absolutely! This is a difficult course. But it’s worth it!

The long half marathon (almost 14 miles) is the western 1/2 of the full marathon course
