Experience the "Green Season" on the Olympic Peninsula at the Frosty Moss Relay, an unforgettable team running adventure set for March 14, 2026, in Port Angeles, WA. This unique event invites runners to choose between an 80-mile full relay (15 legs for teams of 2-5) or a 30-mile Mini Moss (8 legs for teams of 2-4), with a solo 50K option also available on the Mini Moss course. Typical race day conditions in mid-March bring highs around 49F and lows of 34F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation, offering a true Pacific Northwest running experience.
The Frosty Moss course is a captivating blend of terrain, tracing the paved Olympic Discovery Trail, known for its relatively flat sections with some rolling hills, and the more challenging, hilly dirt singletrack of the Olympic Adventure Trail. Runners will be immersed in breathtaking scenery, from towering evergreens and abundant mossy forests to views of the Sol Duc River, Lake Crescent within Olympic National Park, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The 80-mile relay kicks off at the Camp Creek Trailhead along the Sol Duc River, while the 30-mile Mini Moss begins at the scenic Ediz Hook in Port Angeles, with both races culminating in Blyn at the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe facilities.
More than just a race, the Frosty Moss Relay is celebrated as an "all-day running party" where camaraderie thrives. Teams often embrace creative costumes and decorate their support vehicles, adding to the festive atmosphere. Comprehensive on-course race support and an event guide ensure a smooth experience for all participants. The adventure concludes with a lively after-party at Club 7 at 7 Cedars Casino, featuring hot food, cold drinks, awards, and plenty of celebratory shenanigans, including awards for "Best Team Theme" and "Mediocrity."
