Who are we?

Mountain Running Races LLC was formed to manage and deliver vertical mountain running events in the Pacific Northwest. We specialize in finding Pacific Northwest running trails with great vertical gain and awesome views.

We launched the Vert Running Series™ in 2023. This series gives all levels of mountain trail runners an opportunity to put their vert legs to the test throughout the state of Washington from the Olympic Mountains in the West to Mount Spokane in the East and also includes the Vert Running Series Championship in North Bend, Washington.

In 2023 we launched our first festival with the North Bend Trail Fest. This festival has a mountain adventure expo that show cases what the Snoqualmie Valley area has to offer for mountain running, snow sports, mountain and gravel biking, climbing and more. This event will expand to two days of running in 2024.

We launched the Leavenworth Trail Fest in 2024 which has the mountain running expo and three running distances. These festivals have an expo center where services and products are displayed and includes activities such as mountain biking, climbing, rafting and more along with food and of course live music.

None of this would be possible without our trail family volunteers, sponsors, and other mountain running race organization partnerships.
