Dark Divide 100 Mile Endurance Race

A phenomenally difficult and spectacularly beautiful race. Starting and finishing at the Cispus Learning Center, not far from Randle, Washington, this race runs down into the Dark Divide roadless area, found within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. With an ambience of remoteness, only having 10 aid stations meant it was an average of 9 miles between each, with as much as 16 at one point. With stunning views of peaks such as Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Rainier, this course featured approximately 27,000 feet of vertical gain.
It was a pleasure to participate in this great event put on by Wonderland Running!
