About the OAT Run
The OAT Run follows single-track trail along Kelly Ridge, threading through forest thick with moss, ferns, and tall evergreens. One stretch opens up to a view over the Elwha River Valley, and the point-to-point and out-and-back formats mean you are not retracing the same ground the whole way. The trail runs between a national park boundary and the strait to the north.
After finishing, runners gather at Extreme Sports Park for hot burritos from a local food truck, cold drinks, and a campfire, with the Olympic Mountains visible in the background. There is a beer garden as well, with proceeds going to a local nonprofit. A shuttle handles the logistics between the start and the finish area.

The OAT Run has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
