Salt Creek 24
About this race
Salt Creek 24 Registration is OPEN!
Peninsula Adventure Sports is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Rain Bear Running Club to bring you this year's Salt Creek 24. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Rain Bear Running Club, a group known for its passion, expertise, and dedication to fostering a vibrant running community. The Salt Creek 24 has always been about celebrating endurance, adventure, and the stunning beauty of the Olympic Peninsula, and this partnership will take it to the next level.
With three event options, this all-day, all-night event has so much opportunity to get you on your feet, challenge you and provide you with scenery you won’t find anywhere else! Located at the Salt Creek Recreation Area in Port Angeles, Washington, runners and/or walkers will circle the park on a 1.3 mile route for 24 hours either solo, part of a relay team or as a Last Runner Standing (see event details for description of each event). While racing, individuals will be treated to expansive views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, towering evergreens, vivid green moss and ferns, along with a bit of World War II history!
While the clock will be running for 24 hours, this event is designed to allow athletes to challenge themselves by their own design – they can lap the course when they want, as many times as they like. Run or walk the whole 24 hours? That’s fine. Any other number of hours is fine too, in any configuration. You can go on and off the course as you please. Have a certain mileage goal? Just do that! You may stop at any time if you decide you have had enough fun. Training for another race? Awesome!
What’s included in your race registration?
1. A fully stocked aide station, including special featured treats during the toughest night hours! Food to fill your belly and volunteers to cheer you on and fill your soul!
2. A first come, first serve area for runners who plan to circle the park continuously to set up their own aide station/canopy. (This area will be LIMITED and is intended only for those racers planning to take breaks of less than 1 hour.)
3. What is a race without SWAG?! We’ve got that part in the bag. Let us surprise you!
THERE WILL BE PRICE INCREASES AUGUST 1 AND OCTOBER 1, SO DON'T DELAY!
CAMPING
We recommend reserving a campsite at Salt Creek Recreation Area as soon as possible. If the campsites sell out, don't worry! We will be working with the park that all racers that want to come will get one of the First Come First Serve campsites, or an alternative camping space for the event. Also, if you do plan to be on the course for the entirety of the race (stops no more than an hour) - you do not need a campsite, you can stage out of your vehicle or set up a 10x10 pop up canopy to have as your staging area.

Pick your distance
Running
Individual - 24 Hours
Why choose a 24 hour race? Because there are so many options to challenge yourself! *Mid training cycle and need a long run? This race is for you! *Want to test your limits and push yourself for a new distance PR? This race is for you! *Ever wondered what you’re capable of but scared of the pressure of a time clock and cutoffs?

Relay Team - 24 Hours
Perhaps the solo option isn’t your cup of tea? We’re excited to offer a relay team option! Grab some of your favorite active friends and create a team of 2-12 people, taking turns making the 1.3 mile race loop. Make it an opportunity to gather, support and celebrate one another’s accomplishments and see just what your team is made of!
Last Runner Standing
We can’t wait to see who’s brave enough to try our Last Runner Standing event! In this event, racers will summit Striped Peak (3.7 mile out and back with 1,000 feet elevation gain!) each hour, on the hour, until all racers have dropped out - the one that sticks it out the longest is our winner! If you finish before the hour is up, that is how long you get to rest (and graze in the aid station!) If there is more than one runner left at hour 24, one last lap will be completed and the fastest runner will win. The course is an out-and-back on single-track trail with beautiful views, including the summit!

Pacer Bib
If you plan to have a pacer who is not a member of your relay team join you in the pacer timeframe of midnight and 6am, you must purchase a pacer bib. The bib includes access for your pacer to the food stations during their time on the course. One pacer per individual runner is allowed. Members of the same relay team may run together between these hours, but only one team member will accumulate laps (and relay team members do not need a pacer bib)
