Wild Woman Trail Marathon, 50K and Relay

Mt. Adams. Trout Lake, Washington. A weekend built by women, for women. Wild Woman Trail Race Weekend returns June 20‑21, 2026. Choose 50k (first‑time‑friendly ultra), marathon, marathon relay (up to 4 women), or half marathon. No ego. No comparison. Just community, celebration, and the quiet confidence that comes from doing something hard — together. Base camp atmosphere with camping, pre‑race potluck, guest speaker panel, post‑run all‑you‑can‑eat pizza, and post‑run yoga. You don't need to prove anything to be here.

The Philosophy — More Than a Race:

• Created by women, for women — with one simple belief: you don't need to prove anything to be here
• A weekend designed for women who want to explore what they're capable of — on the trail and beyond it
• "We want a challenge, but we're also seeking something that connects us with each other and with something bigger."
• "We thrive with the right kind of pressure, free from ultra‑ego and full of community without comparison."
• Women cheer loudly, wait at intersections, and celebrate every finish
