Cutthroat Classic

North Cascades Scenic Highway, United States • 6 Sep 2025

The Cutthroat Classic is an 11-mile singletrack trail run through the North Cascades in Washington, following the iconic Pacific Crest Trail over Cutthroat Pass. Starting at Rainy Pass (4,870 feet elevation), runners climb steadily for five miles to Cutthroat Pass (6,835 feet), then descend four miles with numerous switchbacks to Cutthroat Lake, continuing downhill to the finish at Cutthroat Creek Trailhead (4,480 feet). The race offers spectacular high alpine mountain views and a challenging course with a mix of gradual climbs and descents. Limited to 400 participants, the event is popular and sells out early each year. Proceeds support year-round trail operations in the Methow Valley.
