Organiser's Description

SALT CREEK 24 REGISTRATION IS OPEN AND BIG NEWS FOR 2025!

Peninsula Adventure Sports is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Rain Bear Running Club to bring you this year's Salt Creek 24. We couldnt be more excited to partner with Rain Bear Running Club, a group known for its passion, expertise, and dedication to fostering a vibrant running community. The Salt Creek 24 has always been about celebrating endurance, adventure, and the stunning beauty of the Olympic Peninsula, and this partnership will take it to the next level.

With three event options, this all-day, all-night event has so much opportunity to get you on your feet, challenge you and provide you with scenery you wont find anywhere else! Located at the Salt Creek Recreation Area in Port Angeles, Washington, runners and/or walkers will circle the park on a 1.3 mile route for 24 hours either solo, part of a relay team or as a Last Runner Standing (see event details for description of each event). While racing, individuals will be treated to expansive views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, towering evergreens, vivid green moss and ferns, along with a bit of World War II history!

While the clock will be running for 24 hours, this event is designed to allow athletes to challenge themselves by their own design they can lap the course when they want, as many times as they like. Run or walk the whole 24 hours? Thats fine. Any other number of hours is fine too, in any configuration. You can go on and off the course as you please. Have a certain mileage goal? Just do that! You may stop at any time if you decide you have had enough fun. Training for another race? Awesome!

WHATS INCLUDED IN YOUR RACE REGISTRATION?

1. A fully stocked aide station, including special featured treats during the toughest night hours! Food to fill your belly and volunteers to cheer you on and fill your soul!
2. A first come, first serve area for runners who plan to circle the park continuously to set up their own aide station/canopy. (This area will be LIMITED and is intended only for those racers planning to take breaks of less than 1 hour.)
3. What is a race without SWAG?! Weve got that part in the bag. Let us surprise you!

THERE WILL BE PRICE INCREASES AUGUST 1 AND OCTOBER 1, SO DON'T DELAY!

CAMPING

We recommend reserving a campsite at Salt Creek Recreation Area [https://www.clallamcountywa.gov/588/Salt-Creek-Recreation-Area] as soon as possible. If the campsites sell out, don't worry! We will be working with the park that all racers that want to come will get one of the First Come First Serve campsites, or an alternative camping space for the event. Also, if you do plan to be on the course for the entirety of the race (stops no more than an hour) - you do not need a campsite, you can stage out of your vehicle or set up a 10x10 pop up canopy to have as your staging area.

    We cant wait to see whos brave enough to try our Last Runner Standing event! In this event, racers will summit Striped Peak (3.7 mile out and back with 1,000 feet elevation gain!) each hour, on the hour, until all racers have dropped out - the one that sticks it out the longest is our winner! If you finish before the hour is up, that is how long you get to rest (and graze in the aid station!) If there is more than one runner left at hour 24, one last lap will be completed and the fastest runner will win. The course is an out-and-back on single-track trail with beautiful views, including the summit! Course map (note the elevation profile is incorrect - the elevation gain is around 1,000 feet) Map link: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5444178271
