Bigfoot 200

The Bigfoot 200 runs point to point around Mount St. Helens, from Marble Mountain Sno-Park near Cougar, through the volcanic blast zone and the forests of the Gifford Pinchot, to White Pass High School in Randle. The 2026 route is 200.1 miles with 44,082 feet of climb, and Destination Trail has held the race since 2015. As the second leg of the Triple Crown of 200 Milers, it draws runners chasing the full set.

The race holds a 107-hour cutoff, with all sleep and rest counting against the clock. Its course is re-permitted every year by local, county, state and federal agencies, so the distance and climb shift between editions. A finish counts as a Western States 100 qualifier, which requires reaching the line under 100 hours.

Point to point from Marble Mountain Sno-Park near Cougar, around Mount St. Helens and through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to White Pass High School in Randle, finishing three quarters of a lap on the track. The 2026 route is 200.1 miles with 44,082 feet of climb and 45,563 of descent, and holds a 107-hour cutoff. The yearly permitting review shifts the distance and elevation a little from edition to edition.

Entry is by lottery, drawn each August for the following year. Registering takes a card that is charged only if you are drawn, and everyone not selected joins a waitlist in the order they entered. There is no qualifying race; runners must be 18 on race day.
