The BURT is a trail running event that harkens back to the days when trail and ultra running was a niche sport for peculiar people who liked testing their limits. We offer distances of 55 kilometers, 110 kilometers, and 100(ish) miles. This event focuses on community, shared experience, and a love of the trails – largely without the accouterments of modern endurance events.
Runners…
-
Start and finish at a “finish tree”
-
Contribute snacks to aid stations
-
Often volunteer to mark and/or sweep the course
-
Compete to win - sure - but focus on working together to get everyone “across the tree”
The BURT course is a 55 kilometer loop that links up Bainbridge Island’s best public (and some private) trail networks. Each year, the BURT committee looks to unlock new trail connectors – making each year’s BURT better than the last. And the BURT always takes place in February. The weather should be atrocious, but we always seem to hit a (frustratingly) perfect reprieve.

The cost to register for the BURT goes directly to the Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation. The Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation is the community leader in the expansion of our public trails. From their behind-the-scenes work acquiring new trails easements, to coordinating the efforts of local agencies and advocates, the Foundation is a dynamic and effective force in planning, funding, building and maintaining trails island-wide. They are the nexus from which island trails multiply, grow and thrive. Your entry fee goes to the Foundation to make this work possible.
