The Great Olympic Adventure Trail Run, often simply called the GOAT Run, is a challenging and incredibly scenic trail running event held annually near Port Angeles, Washington, on the breathtaking Olympic Peninsula. Scheduled for September 6, 2025, this race offers participants a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the lush, moss-laden forests and enjoy stunning vistas of the Elwha River Valley and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Runners can choose from three demanding distances: a 50K ultramarathon (approximately 31 miles), a full marathon (roughly 25.5 miles), and a half marathon (around 14 miles), each featuring significant elevation gains that test even experienced trail runners. The predominantly single-track course culminates at the pristine, turquoise waters of Lake Crescent, nestled within Olympic National Park, providing a truly unforgettable finish line experience. Beyond the personal challenge, the GOAT Run is a community-focused event, with a portion of its proceeds supporting local organizations dedicated to trail construction and maintenance, ensuring the beauty of the Olympic Adventure Trail can be enjoyed for years to come.
