Kill Bill’s Oyster Dome Challenge

Description:

VIRTUAL EVENT

Sign up soon, we will sell out! Based off 1st & 2nd year participation and a splash of voodoo folklore, this race will fill up fast. We have a limited number of runners allowed by DNR and are thankful to host this race rooted rich in local ultra history.
Why Kill Bill? The tough ascent to Oyster Dome originally was referred to by local ultra runners as Kill Bill Hill, not only a reference to its unforgiving climb, but also tribute to a local ultra runner Bill Ball who used the rocky, root layered climb as a course route for Mount Blanchard Ultra. Bill Ball or to some Kill Bill, for better or worse, is largely responsible for more than a few local ultra runners. I remember seeing Kill Bill without shoes the first time, his feet totally wrecked like minced meat. I asked; Bill what the hell happened to your feet? Bill said; I just ran Cascade Crest 100 miler. Before that, I didn’t know 100 mile races existed. So as a tribute to Kill Bill we are resurrecting Kill Bill Hill with a few twists. So come join us and charge up the British Army Trail, you’re a soldier so make it count and look good. Traverse Alternate Incline Trail with it’s solid vertical and sweet canopy covered single track. Explore Blanchard Mountain trails as you traverse the mountainside to Samish Bay, pushing up Kill Bill Hill, stopping at Oyster Dome. Down a freshly shucked oyster (it’s almost mandatory). See the sea and taste gems of the sound, all at the top of Oyster Dome. Because let’s face it, oysters are way better than GU. Will give you a shot of water to chase it down.
