WHY SPONSOR R2R?

Rainier to Ruston is more than a race—it’s a celebration of a shared vision to connect Washington, from the foothills of Mount Rainier to the shores of Puget Sound, through a continuous public trail. 

Help Complete a Mountain-to-Sound Vision

Your sponsorship advances the vision to complete the Foothills National Recreation Trail as a continuous, non-motorized connection linking communities, landscapes, and people from Mount Rainier to Puget Sound.

Champion Healthy, Active Lives Outdoors

Rainier to Ruston encourages people of all ages to get outside, move their bodies, and experience the Foothills Trail through running, walking, volunteering, and cheering—celebrating outdoor recreation as a way of life.

Show Up Where Community and Visibility Meet

R2R is a highly visible regional event, reaching thousands of participants and supporters across the Pacific Northwest through on-trail experiences, community storytelling, and strong digital and social media presence.
