Perpetua Fatass 2025

Join us on January 11, 2025, for the 11th annual Perpetua Fatass! A fun, community-driven ultrarunning event to kick off the new year. Free event, potluck, and beautiful Cape Perpetua Trails.

Event Details

Welcome to the 11th Annual Perpetua Fatass! Whether you're an experienced ultra-runner or looking for a new challenge, join us for an exhilarating day of running on January 11, 2025. Choose your adventure with distances ranging from 9 miles to a daring 50k.

This event celebrates a decade of trail running camaraderie, and it's completely free to participate! But remember, this is a self-supported run. You'll need to carry your own supplies, including food, water, and gear, to get you through the race.

Don’t worry, though – you won’t run alone. We group runners according to pace, ensuring that no one is left behind. In the last 10 years, no one has gotten lost!

Post-Race Potluck

After the run, we’ll gather at the Yachats Commons for a potluck. Bring your favorite dish, snack, or dessert to share with fellow runners. It's a great way to refuel and celebrate the day's achievements together.

Water Stations

While this is a self-supported run, water will be available at the Cape Perpetua Center. Make sure to refill your bottles and keep yourself hydrated during the race.

Volunteer Call

We're looking for three volunteers to help make this event a success:

One volunteer to pick up the key and open the Yachats Commons building.
Two volunteers to drop off water at key locations along the route.

If you're interested in volunteering, please let us know through the registration link above.
