Vashon Island has a history of sport and athleticism, from the founding of K2 Skis and involvement in early hydroplane development to being the home of an annual 10k and 5k run, two triathlons (road and Xterra), and the annual Dock to Dock Half Marathon. The Island presents a great environment for many outdoor activities, from open water swimming to horse back riding. But until 2010, there had never been an organized trail run or Ultramarathon that took advantage of the great trails on Vashon Island. With the advent and explosion of interest in ultramarathon events, runners on Vashon Island were inspired to show off what they have known for years - that linking just a few of the various trail systems on the island provides an ecstatic trail running experience. With the overwhelming success of the 2010 event, the Vashon Ultra is back for a second year. |
