Kaniksu Trail Runs June 12, 2027
Kaniksu Trail Runs is a weekend of mountain trail races organized by Kaniksu Ultras at Frater Lake, Washington, in the Lower Selkirk Mountain Range of the Colville National Forest. The event offers multiple race formats on single-track trail with several aid stations named in course descriptions and GPX routes provided for each course. Registration closes June 1.
Key facts about selected courses and rules are provided by the organizer. The Kaniksu 50 mile course combines an 18 mile out-and-back and a 32 mile loop, includes a nine-mile climb to the rocky summit of Granite Peak, and records about 11,100 feet of elevation gain with a 20 hour cut-off. The Long Walk 100K follows the K50 course with an additional extension south of Granite Peak and minimal dirt-road running. The Sweet 50K is described as a lollipop-style 32-mile course with roughly 7,000 feet of elevation gain and a 12 hour cut-off. The Emory Corwine Memorial Ruck Race is a 2–5 person relay over the K50 course with minimum pack weights of 35 lb for males and 25 lb for females and a 20 hour time limit; proceeds support the SERE Memorial Fund. Other offerings include the Granite Grinder 26.2, Tall Trees 29k, Herman's Half-ish, the Blister Club solo ruck category, and a SERE Beer Mile with specific consumption and safety rules.
