There was not a detail forgotten by the Aspire team on our trip - from the chips and cold drinks at the car after a long day on the trail to massage and chairs waiting for us at camp. The meals were delicious - beyond outstanding.

We can hardly wait to plan the next adventure with Aspire!
Running and relaxation collide on Cypress Island. Here's how we unlock this elusive destination:
Aspire coordinates all camping reservations, backcountry permits, shuttles and meals to guarantee you an immersive trail running experience. All you have to bring is your running kit and your fitness.
Accommodations: The Cypress Island Beach Camp at Pelican Bay provides a remote, yet lively "glamping" experience. *Pelican Bay has no running water. Aspire brings more than enough for the weekend's festivities and adventures.
Meals: We get it! Nutritious food fuels your adventure. We put care and whole foods into all our meals. Aspire bookends each day with celebratory breakfasts & dinners and provides nutritious options for fuel on trail as well. We're happy to accomadate your dietary needs!
Getting there: Cypress is not serviced by any public ferry. Private boats are the only way to access the island. Aspire has chartered a water taxi that will transport runners and equipment between Anacortes and Cypress Island.
Guide Team: The Aspire team is comprised of welcoming expert guides that provide a safety net, energizing camaraderie, area information, logistical support and meals.
