This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.
Post race email just went out to all participants. But I wanted to add a couple things here:
Saturnalia is a small community event, a 10K starting at a middle school track and running along the trails of Squaxin Park in Olympia. We had a total of 63 finishers this year, the third year we’ve been doing the race.
Making trail running accessible to all is a huge focus and passion of Rock Candy Running, and I think we deliver here.
PS: This year for the first time we fully utilized the gym at the school… the weather was nasty with wind gusts up to 45mph. Having a finisher arch inside felt a bit weird at first… but man, let me tell you my volunteers were happy about this setup.
Check out of photos of the event by the amazing Cayman Waughtel.
