About This Event
The Pullman Winter Ultras offer a practical solution for runners facing the harsh realities of Inland Northwest winters. Hosted by the Palouse Road Runners, this free series transforms the challenge of winter training into an opportunity for community and endurance testing. The races take place on the Washington State University loop course, starting and finishing at Thomas Hammer Coffee Pups N Cups in downtown Pullman. This is ultrarunning stripped to its essentials: a simple loop course, minimal support, and maximum camaraderie. Runners choose their own adventure by completing one to four loops of the 7.75-mile WSU circuit. The race organizers are refreshingly honest about what to expect—potential ice, cold temperatures, and the need for complete self-sufficiency beyond the single aid station at start/finish. The event's longevity speaks to its value within the regional running community. Having operated since at least 2010, the Winter Ultras have become a reliable fixture for runners seeking structured motivation during the season when mountain trails become inaccessible. The low-key atmosphere and free entry remove barriers while maintaining the authentic challenge of winter ultrarunning.
