Pigtails Challenge

Produced by Northwest Endurance Events, the Pigtails Challenge involves running and walking 50K to 200 miles in 9.4-mile laps around Lake Youngs Watershed, which has rolling terrain with 900 feet of elevation gain per loop.

This is an excellent course for those wishing to train in a very well supported race. Or, if you’re looking to attempt a new and longer distance, such as a first 100 miler. Hardcore types who want take a bite at a longer distance such as 150 or 200 miler and test their mental fortitude, this is the perfect race. Since this is a loop course, the option to throw in the towel always looms in the background. It will test your perseverance to carry on lap after lap when you could easily call it a day, pop blisters, get warm, eat, and have a beer.
