Leavenworth Trail Fest

Ski Hill 55k

With the launch of the Leavenworth Trail Fest we thought it worthy of a longer distance and to honor the venue area we've named it the Ski Hill 55k.

The Leavenworth Ski Hill Area has a long history of establishing new and great events in the winter during the 30's - 70's and introducing a new ultra distance will complete a full festival of not just running but also other mountain adventure activities.

We are back with the unbelievably FAST Leavenworth Skyline 27k which has 3800 feet of VERT and will start at the base of the Leavenworth Ski Hill Area. Utilizing much of the awesome MTB trail system this route ascends via “The Nut” for approximately 2 miles where the route grabs local forest service roads to the top of the Tumwater Ridge (Tumwater Paraglider Launch area parking) where the Summit King and Queen will be determined. It then will descend back down and traverse over to the Freund Canyon area on some fast downhill forest service roads where you’re greeted with the views of the dry alpine desert landscape of the Eastern Cascade Mountains. Once at the bottom of the Freund Canyon area a short uphill section will get you to the last fast descent into the start/finish line and festival area.
