22 Mile

The 22 Mile is a stout, scenic long run that mixes Middle Fork singletrack with a stretch of Middle Fork Road on the way toward the Goldmyer area. The profile stays relatively modest compared to big mountain races, but it’s still a serious day out — especially if the weather turns classic fall PNW.

Course notes from NWTR: the 22 Mile course also crosses Burnt Boot Creek, which typically can be waded; organizers often build at least a minimal log bridge for those comfortable with a dry-foot crossing.

From the Middle Fork Trailhead, follow Middle Fork Trail to Dingford Creek junction (Aid B). Cross the river to Middle Fork Road near Dingford Creek Trailhead, then continue toward Goldmyer and cross to the south side of the river (Aid C). Return downriver on Middle Fork Trail back past Aid B to the trailhead.
