AUDACIOUS-RIM-TO-RIM-TO-RIM-RUN Is a circular run that starts off on the Juan De Fuca (JDF) trail from China Beach. Just before we hit Sombrio beach (22km mark) we make our way up into the nether regions of the San Juan Ridge until we find ourselves on the mysterious Kludahk Trail. Not content with having accomplished this monster climb we will forge ahead through the enchanted alpine meadows and visit most of the cabins the Kludahk has to offer. All good things have to come to an end though. For the grand finale we make our way down the quadcrushing North Main to China Beach. If you can still walk after that descent, congratulations you’ve just had some type 2 fun.
If this seems a bit daunting but you still want an excellent adventure, we can see if there is a group that would like to participate in the JDF leg of the run to Sombrio beach. This in itself is a beautiful run/hike. You’ll obviously have to make arrangements to get back from SOMBRIO. There is a sign up sheet for the SOMBRIO/JDF crowd for car swapping.
I'm planning on providing a car for resupply at Sombrio beach. (Assuming someone volunteers to get up a bit earlier and drive out and back to Sombrio before the start with me to park my car with the supplies and drive me back to China Beach)
Start Location: China Beach Trailhead
Distance: 67-ish km, Estimated duration: 16-ish hours.
