Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating outdoor experience at the Defiance 50K / 30K / 15K event on Saturday, October 11, 2025, in the stunning Tacoma, Pierce area. This scenic race takes participants through the breathtaking trails of Point Defiance, a remarkable urban park that boasts over 700 acres of old-growth forests and stunning views of the Puget Sound.
Runners can choose from three exciting distances: tackle the 15K loop, which takes you through the beautiful terrain once; the 30K, where you’ll conquer the loop twice; or the ultimate challenge of the 50K, completing the loop three times. Each loop, approximately 9.75 miles (15.7 km), will bring you back to the Start/Finish area at Owen Beach, allowing you to soak in the panoramic views of the majestic Puget Sound and run beneath the towering 500-year-old cedars and firs. With mostly single track trails that are typically dry in mid-October, prepare for an invigorating adventure while training for some hills. Join us for a day of fitness, fun, and natural beauty at one of the top urban parks in the United States!
