Overview
The Bigfoot 200 isn’t just a race, it’s an odyssey. Spanning 207.9 miles through the untamed beauty of Washington’s Cascade Mountain Range, this point-to-point adventure takes runners from the volcanic slopes of Mount St. Helens to the quiet forests of Randle, WA. Over five relentless days, you’ll conquer 45,563 feet of climb, traverse lava fields, ridgelines, and lush old-growth forests, and battle both the terrain and your own limits.
With fully supported aid stations, hot meals, medical crews, and sleep stations, Bigfoot 200 is more than a run—it’s a test of endurance, resilience, and soul. Do you have what it takes to chase Bigfoot through the wild and finish one of the most epic ultramarathons on Earth?

About
Destination Trail
Destination Trail is a world-renowned trail race organizer specializing in multi-day, adventure-driven ultramarathons across the most scenic, remote, and wild landscapes in the United States. Founded in 2013 by professional ultrarunner Candice Burt, the company has earned international acclaim for its signature Triple Crown of 200s — the Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240 — as well as its expansion into even more ambitious terrain, like the upcoming 300-mile AZ Monster.
Every Destination Trail event is built on years of hands-on expertise, trail-tested logistics, and a deep passion for creating transformational endurance experiences. The organization is staffed entirely by experienced ultrarunners, including Race Director and President Garrett Froelich, Medical Director Brian Wilford, and a dedicated team who have all either run or volunteered at 200+ mile events. Their intimate knowledge of long-distance racing shapes every detail of the runner experience; from aid station nutrition to gear requirements and emergency response protocols.
More than just a race company, Destination Trail is a movement built around exploration, resilience, and human connection. Their events are as much about self-discovery and nature immersion as they are about miles and medals. For runners looking to go beyond the limits of traditional ultrarunning, Destination Trail delivers the ultimate frontier.
