SOWF Ultra

The SOWF Ultra, a powerful 24-hour endurance run, calls participants to Nine Mile Falls, WA, on June 6, 2026, for a profound challenge and an even greater cause. This unique event, hosted at the Seven Mile Trailhead Airstrip, isn't just about pushing personal limits; it's a dedicated fundraiser for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF). Every stride taken on the 4-mile loop contributes to a mission providing "cradle to career" educational support for children of fallen Special Operations personnel, spouses, and Medal of Honor recipients. Runners will navigate a course featuring a notable 200 ft elevation gain at Boat Hill, accumulating approximately 300 ft per completed loop, offering a consistent test of will over 24 hours.

Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 70F and lows of 45F, with a low 7% chance of precipitation, creating favorable weather for sustained effort. Aid stations positioned at the base of Boat Hill's incline and on the SW loop will keep runners fueled with complimentary water and electrolytes, though participants are encouraged to be self-sufficient for additional nutrition. For those seeking to maximize their time on the course or simply enjoy the camaraderie, overnight camping is available at the start/finish area. Beyond individual achievements, like the previous year's winner completing an impressive 60 miles, the SOWF Ultra fosters a collective journey, tallying the total miles conquered by all participants to honor those who have bravely served our nation.
