Middle Fork Trail Run
North Bend, United States • 10 Oct 2026
Middle Fork Trail Run
The event takes place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in North Bend, Washington, with the start at the Middle Fork Trailhead. Courses use the Middle Fork and CCC trails and generally follow river valleys, producing modest climb with occasional slope meanders.
The Middle Fork Valley includes views of rugged mountain slopes, old-growth trees, cliffs, lush forest, and the swiftly flowing Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. The 50k and 22-mile routes include at least one unbridged crossing of Burnt Boot Creek; organizers may construct a minimal log bridge for a dry-foot option when conditions allow.
Distances and climbing:
- 50k 50.0 km, 4,090 ft climb
- 22-mile 22.2 mi (35.7 km), 2,390 ft climb
- Half Marathon 21.1 km (13.1 mi), ~1,450 ft climb
- 10k 10.52 km, 810 ft climb
Aid stations are supplied on each course: five on the 50k, three on the 22-mile, two on the half marathon, and one on the 10k. Stations will provide water, electrolyte drink, and a selection of carbohydrate-rich foods such as gels, bars, fruit, cookies, or candy.
Parking at the Middle Fork Trailhead requires a Northwest Forest Pass. Trails remain open to other users during the event, and under USATF policy dogs are not allowed on course. Participants are responsible for their own safety and are advised that cell signal may be poor in parts of the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
