Course
A timed loop format on a roughly 4 mile circuit that begins and ends at the main LBA park shelter. The loop encircles the park and ballfields but spends most of its length on twisting, technical singletrack under forest canopy, with about 200ft of climb per lap. Runners complete as many laps as they choose within 3, 6 or 12 hours, so there are no DNFs.

About
Twisting and turning on mostly single track trails, the Little Backyard Adventure Races celebrates the City of Olympia's recently preserved L.B.A. neighborhood forest park. Our Little Backyard Adventure Races are inviting you to loop through the lush canopy of ferns, moss and forest. These races are a great introduction to trail running, with a course that will push even the strongest of runners.
