Northwest Trail Runs

Run dirt roads and trails through Teanaway Community Forest near Cle Elum. The courses move through ponderosa pine, meadows, and sandstone with moderate climbing and views toward Mount Stuart. A Discover Pass is required for parking or camping.

Run forest roads and singletrack through Tiger Mountain State Forest in Issaquah. The courses are well marked, close to Seattle, and include steady climbs, rolling trails, and supported aid stations. A Discover Pass is required for parking on DNR land.

Start at Middle Fork Trailhead outside North Bend and follow the Middle Fork and CCC trails through lush forest, river views, cliffs, and old-growth character. Climbs are moderate for the distance. A Northwest Forest Pass is required for parking.

Fort Ebey Kettles Trail Run is a Whidbey Island weekend of rolling, surprisingly punchy trail running through Fort Ebey State Park. The routes wind through forested ‘kettle’ depressions formed by glacial ice, with frequent twists and turns and a smoother trail surface than many Northwest courses. All distances include a stretch along the scenic bluff-top trail with wide views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward the Olympic Mountains — a salty-air, big-sky backdrop that makes this race a local favorite.

River-valley singletrack along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie with mossy forest, cliff views, and CCC connectors; Trail Sisters Approved & youth-friendly weekend.
