Cutthroat Classic

Cutthroat Classic is a 10.5-mile singletrack trail run through the North Cascades, beginning at Rainy Pass on the Pacific Crest Trail and finishing at Cutthroat Creek Trailhead after ascending to Cutthroat Pass (6,835 ft) and a long descent to Cutthroat Lake. The route rewards runners with dramatic high-alpine scenery and rugged switchbacks. This cupless race operates with six self-seeded waves and offers bag transport, one aid station at mile seven, and horseback-packed supplies. The event is limited to 400 participants, registered for September 6, 2025, and includes post-race lunch, with a beer for participants over 21. Registration sells out.
