About
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 race starts at 8:00 a.m. on a Friday in mid-August and holds a 105-hour cutoff, with all sleep and rest counting against the clock. A finish counts as a Western States 100 qualifier, which requires reaching the line under 100 hours.
