About Tour de Lavender
With vistas of the snow-capped Olympic Mountains, the blue expanse of the Salish Sea, and multi-hued fields of wondrous lavender to roam, the “Tour de Lavender” is more than just a ride, it’s an experience! Since 2013, the Tour de Lavender has given cyclists from beginner to expert the chance to celebrate the stunning beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and enjoy the renowned lavender farms of the Sequim-Dungeness. Celebrate some more when you return to the finish area with pizza, beer garden, socializing. You can also pick up any purchases that you made at the farms, which we will transport back to the event finish area for you!
Peninsula Trails Coalition
Proceeds from the Tour de Lavender go to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and are used for the construction and maintenance of the Olympic Discovery Trail, as well as advocacy and education.
There are a number of ways to participate in the Tour de Lavender:
The 35-mile Fun Ride. The Fun Ride on the Tour de Lavender is a loop course and is for cyclists looking for a more casual, relaxed ride. The route is over mostly level terrain, and most of it is on low traffic country roads as well as the Olympic Discovery Trail, the Peninsula’s crown jewel of scenic bikeways.
The 64-mile Metric Century. The Metric Century is also a loop course. It is mostly over level or gently rolling terrain but incorporates two more challenging hill climbs. It follows backcountry roads and segments of the region’s premier scenic bikeway, and the Olympic Discovery Trail. Elevation gained on the route is more than 2,000 feet.
Both courses visit multiple lavender farms. Each farm has a dedicated Tour de Lavender support station offering snacks, beverages, and quick access to mechanical support if your bike needs it. Each farm also has its own unique character, but all are dedicated to making your visit a memorable experience and truly “cyclist-friendly.”

Adult:
$80 January 1 - April 30

Our distances.
The Great Olympic Adventure Trail Run (GOAT Run) is a trail 50K, marathon & half marathon that traverses Kelly Ridge between the Olympic National Park and the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington State.
The route follows the single track Adventure Trail for the majority of the course, plus some unpaved forest road mixed in, and less than a mile on pavement. The finish line is in Olympic National Park at the deep, glacially carved Lake Crescent. Famous for its turquoise blue waters of exceptional clarity, the lake is the perfect place to end the race.
The course reaches a maximum elevation of 1,619 feet, with a cumulative elevation gain of 1500 ft for the half, 3500 ft for the marathon, and 3700 ft for the 50K. Challenging? Absolutely! This is a difficult course. But it’s worth it! *(note: half course is long, about 14 mi)
What’s included?
In addition to an epic outdoor experience in the far northwest corner, all runners receive a professional well-organized event, a well-marked course, food and snacks at water stations along the course, a piece of custom race swag, free shuttle to start, chip timing, after-party at Log Cabin Resort including heavy snacks and water / electrolyte. Bring cash or card with you, as we will have a beer / cider garden at the finish line!

GOAT Run is Cupless
Unnecessary waste and trash is something we are working to eliminate from our events. As an organization dedicated to maintaining a clean race and doing our part to keep our trails clean, starting in 2024 we will be going cupless. This means we are eliminating the use of disposable cups at our races. Runners will carry their own hydration vessels, weather it be a backpack, water bottle, or a compressible cup such at the HydraPak speed cup.
Giving Back
This race is a friendly, community-based event, and a portion of race proceeds is donated to the Peninsula Trails Coalition and the Peninsula Chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of Washington, in appreciation for their countless hours of trail construction and maintenance on the North Olympic Peninsula.
