The Olympic 420 is a bikepacking race that traverses the spectacular Olympic Peninsula via the Olympic Discovery Route. The route is comprised of old logging roads and trails that can be extremely wild and steep, and there are few opportunities for resupply. The total elevation gain “defies belief.”

Join us for the 11th Grand Depart of the 420+ mile route. Be prepared for hiking, scrambling, unbridged river crossings and an elusive track thru steep terrain.
