Leavenworth Trail Fest
Leavenworth Trail Fest takes place on May 29, 2027 at the Leavenworth Ski Hill Area in Leavenworth, Washington. The event is organized by Mountain Running Races and includes multiple distances and a weekend trail festival at the ski hill base.
The courses showcase ridgelines north of town with a mix of alpine ridges, forest service roads, and drier Eastern Cascades terrain. The 25K and 50K use a loop on the north side of Tumwater Mountain introduced in 2026. The 50K is two laps of the 25K loop and includes seven aid stations and a ten hour cutoff.

All 25K and 50K finishers may choose a custom finisher award or have three trees planted. 25K runners receive Vert Running Series points and a post-race meal.
