Woolley Trail Runs are a 50k, Marathon, and Half Marathon located in Sedro Woolley Washington. All three runs are out and back with a few road crossings. Participants will heed traffic while crossing all roads, there will be NO crossing guards. As with all NW Ultra events these are meant to be fun runs with limited aid. Any diversion from the trail will be marked as well as all turnaround points. All three courses are out and back on railroad grade gravel path. The course has a slight (unnoticeable) uphill grade on the way out, with of course the same downhill grade on the return. There will be an aid station at each of the turnaround points (6.6 miles, 13.15 miles, 15.7 miles) and mile 4. Plan on carrying water and aid. This is not a USATF certified course and you cant qualify for Boston, but it is at least the advertised distance.

COURSE INFORMATION:
The course starts a quarter of a mile west of the trail head off Fruitdale Rd & SR 20. It continues east along the Cascade Trail. For a full map of the Cascade Trail please visit the Skagit County Parks & Recreations website here [https://www.skagitcounty.net/GIS/Documents/Parks/cas-trail.pdf].

DROP BAGS:
Drop bags can be dropped off at the start the morning of the race. Drop bags will be allowed at all aid stations. Please mark on your drop bags your bib #, which aid station it goes to (mile marker) and your name. They will not be returned until after the last runner has left each aid station, or participants may drive out to retrieve their bags. If participants do not retrieve their drop bags they will be donated, we will not mail them to you.
