Lodging and Camping

The Stewart Lodge is the Cle Elum 50K Host Hotel and is located in Cle Elum about 40 minutes from the race start. They are offering a 10% discount on their Deluxe rooms to all Cle Elum runners. To get the discount call (509) 674-4548 and tell them you're with the race--the discount won't work on the website but check it out for more info: www.stewartlodge.com

The Timber Lodge Inn also in Cle Elum is also a good place to stay.

There's lots of options for camping. On the way to the start you pass two forest service camgrounds(taneum and ice water creek) and the start/finsih is at the taneum junction campground-- all of these are pretty simple/basic camps. In Easton and Cle Elum there are state parks and commercial campgrounds too.
