Defiance 50k / 30k / 15k

Experience the thrill of the Defiance 50K / 30K / 15K event set in the picturesque Tacoma, Pierce area on October 11, 2025. Traverse the stunning trails of Point Defiance, a sprawling urban park with lush old-growth forests and captivating views of the Puget Sound. Choose your challenge: embark on the 15K loop for a scenic journey, conquer the loop twice for the 30K adventure, or test your limits with the 50K, completing three loops. Each loop, around 9.75 miles (15.7 km), leads you back to the Start/Finish area at Owen Beach, offering breathtaking panoramas of the Puget Sound and a route lined with ancient cedars and firs. Expect mostly dry single track trails in mid-October, perfect for an exhilarating run with some elevation changes. Don't miss the chance to revel in a day of fitness, enjoyment, and natural splendor in one of the premier urban parks in the nation!
