The Vashon Island Ultramarathon & Trail Run is the only events on Vashon Island to connect previously unconnected trail systems which span miles of the islands woods and open space – encompassing local and county parks, natural preserves, and private property, giving participants a truly unique opportunity to explore the beauty that Vashon has to offer.  Local runners come back year after year, as the budding trail running community flourishes.  And runners from all over the globe come to experience the pristine single track and the small town flavor that makes this event a Pacific Northwest favorite.
