Race Overview -- TO REGISTER SCROLL DOWN
Located on the eastern, and sunny side of the North Cascades - on the edge of the Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness, above the Methow River Valley - these courses offer great mountain trail running early in the year. You can expect fields of wildflowers, beautiful, snow-capped peaks of the Cascades in the distance, and mostly gradual, smooth, runnable trails with moderate amounts of elevation gain.
New for 2025, our Sun Mountain race courses will start and finish from the Chickadee Trailhead -- this will eliminate all the pavement we had run on in 2024. All participants, volunteers, friends and family will need to park at Big Twin Lake Resort Campground and take a shuttle bus to Chickadee. There will be no parking available at or near Chickadee and no vehicle access to any of the race course or aid stations. The limited parking that is available is to be left available for other trail users, this is essential to the success of this event and our ability to hold this event in the future.
