In the Heat of the Night

The Pullman Winter Ultras is a no-fee, self-supported winter run on the WSU loop in Pullman, starting at Knead Coffee. Participants select 12.5K, 25K, 37.5K, or 50K by completing a 7.75-mile loop multiple times; the format is straightforward: run until your chosen distance is achieved. This event represents low-key Inland Northwest ultrarunning, where runners must carry their own water and food. Coffee and light snacks are provided at the start. Palouse Road Runners organize the event, with results dating back over ten years. The race embraces its cold-weather character, mentioning frozen toes, post-run beer, and winter fellowship.
