Orcas Island 100 Miler

Orcas Island 100 Miler Rainshadow Running's inaugural (TRAIL) 100-miler. Friday, Feb. 19th 2016. Orcas Island. Tough. Gorge The Orcas 100 is going to be TOUGH. And gorgeous.

For Rainshadow's inaugural 100-miler, it only seems fitting to pay homage to Rainshadow's humble beginnings, and the verdant slopes so many of you have grown to love (or hate, depending on the mileage), and so our first 100 will be where James created his very first race: Orcas Island! And even more epic than Moby-Dick. This event is open to participants who are at least 18 years of age and who ha

ve proven themselves qualified (entrants must have completed an organized trail 50-miler with at least 7,000 feet of gain between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2015, AND/OR an organized trail 100k with at least 8,500 feet of gain, AND/OR have completed any organized trail 100-miler between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2015; there should be no ambiguity that your qualifier is a “trail” run). All interested runners must complete the online race application and submit payment through UltraSignup. It is each runner's responsibility to ensure they are qualified for this race. There is also a mandatory trail-work component (Please see details below in the "general info" section). In addition to trail work, completion of the required races, all runners must also read, understand, and adhere to general Rainshadow race policies, Orcas Island 100 race-specific policies, and the Orcas Island 100 Captain's Log (your nautical-themed Race Bible, if you will). We will be accepting 170 runners via online registration on a first-come, first-come basis, after which time a wait-list will be initiated, and up to 100 additional names will be added to that list (again, on a first-come, first-serve basis; runners will have to register for the wait-list via UltraSignup in order to be added to the wait-list).

Our friends at The Wild Ones made a great video from the Orcas Island 50kthis past weekend. It shows just how wet some of the course was and probably will be for the race this weekend.

This was my four Orcas Island 50K, and my first return since completing the Orcas Island 100. Camp Moran and the trails that course the island are a special place…

Hey Orcas Island 100 mile runners! Here's a great deal for those of you who are looking to kill time between the race briefing and the race start: Doe Bay Resort has an open mic night on Thursdays and they are offering a free appetizer if you mention that you are with Rainshadow Running! The cafe opens at 5 and music starts at around 7:30. Swing by and wind down a bit before heading to bed!

For those of you in the Pacific Northwest, now is a great time to get out into the mountains - lots of wet, snowy, sloppy trails that are perfect preparation for some potential worst-case-scenario trail conditions up at Orcas!

If you aren't from the PNW, try this: fill a bathtub with about 1" of water as cold as your tap goes. Dump in all the ice from your freezer. Turn the shower on so it's a light, freezing cold mist. Then, simply turn off the bathroom lights and run in the tub for as long as you can stand it!*

Any cold, snowy night on Orcas will now seem like a breeze compared to this exercise. 👍

*Rainshadow does not actually condone doing this exercise and takes no responsibility for anyone running in a bathtub full of ice.
