About the Event

Conquer the unique and beautiful glacial terrain of the Pacific Northwest at the Fort Ebey Kettles Trail Run on February 14-15, 2026. This two-day event on Whidbey Island offers a stunning challenge for every level, with a full marathon and half marathon on Saturday, followed by a 10km and 5km on Sunday through the forested "kettle" depressions of Fort Ebey State Park. Feel the crisp sea air and experience breathtaking bluff-top views of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca as you navigate rolling, winding trails carved by ancient ice sheets.

Choose your distance on a course renowned for its smooth, flowing trails and significant cumulative elevation gain, making the marathon a formidable 5,550-foot test of endurance. Enjoy the supportive, community-focused atmosphere of a Northwest Trail Runs event, complete with well-stocked aid stations, custom finisher medals, and optional event apparel celebrating the local ferns. The mid-February date promises a quintessential Pacific Northwest running experience—cool, potentially muddy, and utterly invigorating. Secure your early registration to guarantee your spot on a course that masterfully blends natural beauty with a true trail running challenge.
