🔥 Introducing Ultra Fest
The Reimagined Cascade Super Ultra 🔥
BUCKLE UP — LITERALLY.

Earn a buckle for the 100M, 100K, and 50M!
50k & 25k runners snag a sweet medal.

We couldn’t help ourselves. We’ve taken everything you loved about Cascade Super Ultra and leveled it up. Ultra Fest is more than just a rebrand — it’s a celebration of endurance, grit, and the unbeatable trail community. With the second year of the 100K and 100M distances, improved logistics, and faster, flatter courses, it’s the ultimate summer ultra party.

🚫 No buses. ✅ On-site parking. 🏁 True 50M (no more 52!).
Smash your PR or take on your first ultra — Ultra Fest is made for both.

🏞 Immerse Yourself in the PNW’s Natural Beauty

Run through the heart of Washington’s Central Cascades on the Foothills Trail — a smooth gravel route framed by rivers, forests, and mountain backdrops. It’s fast-ish, flat-ish, and freaking gorgeous.

🧠 Unleash Your Grit & Mental Strength

Ultra Fest is for the determined. Whether you’re going 50K or 100M, these courses are designed to push your body and mind. You’ll dig deep, discover your limits — and then blow past them.

🤝 The Ultra Community You’ve Been Craving

This isn’t just a race — it’s a runner’s reunion. Share the journey with fellow dirt-loving, goal-chasing athletes. Cheer each other on. Suffer together. Celebrate big.

🎉 Earn That Buckle. Soak in the Glory.

When you cross that finish line, it won’t just be about the miles — it’ll be about everything you overcame to get there. You’ll walk away with more than bling — you'll take home pride, memories, and a story worth telling.
