About the Event

Discover a hidden urban trail gem and test your endurance on a deceptively challenging looped course at the Little Backyard Adventure, March 14, 2026. Hosted by Rock Candy Running, this event offers 3, 6, and 12-hour timed races on a twisting, ~4-mile singletrack loop through the lush, moss-draped forest of Olympia's preserved LBA Park. With only 200 feet of gain per loop, the course is accessible yet packed with enough technical turns and fun hills to keep even seasoned runners engaged lap after lap.

As part of the broader Olympia Trail Fest weekend, your registration includes a free ticket to the Trail Running Film Festival, turning the race into a full celebration of the sport. The focus is on completed loops, not speed, with no DNFs—just personal challenge and community spirit. Join the friendly Pacific Northwest trail community for a Saturday where you decide your own adventure in the heart of the city.
