In the Woods 30A 50K
Prior to February 2022, if you searched for a 50K in our immediate area, you’d have been searching in vain. In other words, much like the Ellie Biscuit, this race too was born out of necessity.
The In the Woods 30A 50K is just an awesome race. From the Point Washington State Forest Eastern Lake Trailhead, runners immediately head into the woods where they'll run on some of the prettiest trails around...endless pine forests and multiple creek crossings await. And trails, lots of trails. If tackling the In the Woods as a solo effort, runners will complete three total laps. There is also a 2-person relay option, where runners can split up the three laps however they wish (NOTE: each runner MUST complete at least one full lap); and a 3-person relay option, where all three runners each complete one full lap.
What do you get for your money? Besides a beautiful and well-supported course, all registered runners will receive an always cool race shirt. The 1st thru 3rd finishers from the men’s and women’s solo races, and the 1st - 3rd finishers from the 2 and 3-person relays will receive awards. Furthermore, the top 3 solo finishers from each age group will also receive awards. All race finishers will receive a nifty finisher’s award.
And VERY SPECIAL to the In the Woods 30A 50K: all solo runners who finish the 50K in UNDER 5 HOURS will receive the coveted In the Woods 30A 50K "U5 Club" Stein. Runners who finish the 50K in UNDER 4 HOURS will receive the even more coveted "U4 Club" Stein.
A post-race social will also follow. Details to come.
And just like the Ellie Biscuit, I should probably note that this too is a trail run, with all of the goodness that typically comes along with trail runs, i.e. rocks, roots, stumps, and large mud puddles. And sand...lots and lots of sand. Repeat point: dress accordingly and definitely don’t expect clean shoes at the finish line!
