Before race day
Plan the practical parts.
Start, finish & parking
The race starts and finishes at Hyak Trailhead on the Palouse to Cascades Trail. Take I-90 to Exit 54 and follow event signs. A Washington Discover Pass is required: $10 for the day or $45 annually.
Required gear
A headlamp is mandatory for both tunnel passages. Hyak Passage is cupless, so bring your own bottle, flask, or reusable cup. Carry enough hydration and nutrition for your effort, plus layers for variable October mountain weather.
Trailhead Aid Station parking
Parking is limited and requires a valid Northwest Forest, Interagency, or U.S. Forest Service day pass; the Discover Pass is not valid there.
Dropping from the race
If you drop from the race, notify the Aid Station Captain before leaving so the race team can account for you.
Course markings
Yellow and black arrows mark junctions. Pink and black checkered confidence ribbons appear between them. Wear your bib visibly on the front of your body for timing and participant check-ins.
Post-race food
Vegetarian and meat tamales will be served after the race, with coffee, kombucha, water, and electrolytes. No alcohol will be served.
Withdrawal & transfer policy
Entries are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to another runner. Timely withdrawals may qualify for partial credit toward a future Cielo Running race. Pregnancy deferrals and event-cancellation terms are covered in the full policy.
