Route Description

RUSA Route #2761 "Solstice 1000K" Based on the Third Time's a Charm 1000K from 2022, this route features fantastic scenery, including Wynoochee Lake and Lake Quinault on the Olympic Peninsula, Capitol State Forest, the Pacific Ocean, and Mount Rainier.

Approximately 67K of this route is gravel; minimum 28mm tires are advised. Much of this route is beyond cell coverage, so a satelite-based tracker (Spot, InReach, etc) is highly recommended. Some sections will test your rando self-sufficiency skills.

As the name implies, this route has a clover leaf configuration -- the start, finish, and all overnights are at the La Quinta Inn in Tumwater, WA. While this makes logistics simple for riders and organizers, it also makes DNFing temptingly easy.

This would be a great practice event for riders contemplating PBP 2027. Completing this event guarantees first choice of PBP 2027 starting time slot.
