About the FORGE
FORGE is a backyard ultra on trails and dirt roads near the Swinomish Casino. The format is simple and relentless: complete a loop every hour, and whatever time you have left is your rest before the next one begins. No aid stations on the course itself. Between loops, runners return to a central village area to refuel and regroup.
There are no pacers allowed, so each loop is run solo. The village becomes the social hub, the place where people sit, eat, and watch others come and go. Tailwind nutrition and food are on hand throughout the day. Top finishers earn cash and a trophy; completing all loops earns a belt buckle.
