North Bend Trail Fest
North Bend Trail Fest is a two day mountain running event in North Bend, Washington, held at the western gateway to the Cascades. The festival centers on steep, technical mountain courses near Mount Si and the Snoqualmie Valley and combines competitive racing with community activities.
Race offerings include:
- Skyline 30K - 30K, 6,300 ft elevation gain
- Mt Si VK - under 5K, 1,000 m vertical gain, limited to 70 runners
- Little Si 10K - 10K, about 1,275 ft elevation gain
- North Bend Double - two days, about 35K total and over 10,000 ft of vertical gain
The Skyline 30K serves as a Vert Running Series championship race and is listed as a UTMB Index 20K event. Runners self-select into Elite, Sport, and Masters (45+) divisions. All races include Men, Women, and Nonbinary categories; prize money and award eligibility rules apply, including a nonbinary prize eligibility threshold for the Skyline 30K.
The event offers a $4,500 prize purse with additional summit bonuses and donor support: seven dollars from each Skyline 30K registration is donated to Recovery Beyond. Festival elements at the park and in town include postrace food, gear demos, a kids race, a climbing wall, a community gravel ride, and volunteer-run services. Volunteers earn race credit per hour served that can be used for future events or gear. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
