B&O Half marathon

July 20, 2025

Buckley

The PNW is the best place to race in the summer months. Known as the upper left, the scenery is a MUST-see in Washington. The small towns welcome you with epic views of Mount Rainier in the glory of sunshine. Run like the Mountain is out!

The Foothills Rails to Trails Coalition is the non-profit behind the beautiful paved trail that connects the scenic towns of Washington. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Mount Rainier, runners get to enjoy blue skies, mountain views, and the cool river for a day of running fun with friends.

Half Marathon

Usually a Point to Point downhill half marathon from Buckley to Orting, WA
700’ gentle descent on the beautiful Foothills Trail BUT this year an out and back due to the bridge closure.

Runners will enjoy a fast course from Orting to South Prairie, and turn for a fast downhill return to Orting. No bus rides means more time to enjoy friends and cheer for other runners!
