Sea to Sound 2026
Advertisement
Sea To Sound is a 74-mile, three-day, multi-modal group ride spanning the entire length of the Olympic Discovery Trail. It is also a fundraising opportunity for Ian's Ride, a 501(c)3 non profit in the State of Washington. The Olympic Peninsula is the farthest northwest expanse of land one can explore along the US coast. This alone would be enough to motivate many to come see it, and for the rest of us, there’s also this amazing trail!
For our event, we will offer aid stations and support along the entire route. Wheelchair users are strongly encouraged! We will support you. Just tell us what you will need.
Day 1: Friday, Aug 28
Day 1 is 20 miles. It begins on the west side of Lake Crescent, at the Camp Creek Trailhead, 36.3 miles west of Port Angeles on Hwy 101, South of Hwy 101 on Cooper Ranch Rd. We encourage folks to park at the Spruce Railroad trailhead and shuttle to the Camp Creek trailhead. This section of the trail is stunning, smooth, and remote with big trees and peekaboo views of Lake Crescent. The final few miles are on the Spruce Railroad section of the trail. It has a beautifully smooth surface and travels right along the edge of Lake Crescent.
Day 2: Saturday, Aug 29
Day 2 is 27 miles. It begins west of Port Angeles, at the end of Crown Z Water Road at the spectacular Elwha River suspension bridge. The trail crosses the Elwha River. Long a source of hydropower and water for mills, the Elwha dams were removed in September 2011, and the largest river flowing out of the Olympics returned in hopes salmon would eventually repopulate this valley. Although there are some hilly spots, the route is almost entirely paved. There are several excellent access points to join or exit the group ride. Many will be joining us in wheelchairs.
We will finish the day at Carrie Blake Park in Sequim, where participants can take part in our Wheelchair Rodeo — a fun and spirited conclusion to Day 2 featuring a handful of friendly competitive events designed especially for riders in wheelchairs. The rodeo is a highlight of the weekend and celebrates the skill, determination, and camaraderie of our participants.
Day 3: Sunday, Aug 30
Day 3 is 21 miles. It begins at Carrie Blake Park in Sequim. The majority of the day is paved. This year we will NOT ride along Highway 101. Our shuttles will move you from Gardiner to the four corner trailhead of the Larry Scott Trail portion of the ODT. Although not paved, this is a smooth and beautiful trail. Many will be joining us in wheelchairs. We offer aid stations along the way and transportation assistance when needed.
VIRTUAL OPTION
We understand that not everyone can join us in person. To accommodate everyone, we are continuing to offering a virtual option. This means, you can join along with us, at your own pace, from your own neighborhood.
Upload your miles on Run Signup, follow along to see where you are on our route, and most importantly, Get Outside! The virtual option has until 12/31 for completion.
