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 that will include the Vert Running Series Championship in North Bend, Washington.

We also manage the Running Up For Air (RUFA) – Tiger Mtn event that brings awareness to the need of clean air in the Pacific Northwest. This event is one of seven events in the USA and is part of the RUFA Global reach via Patagonia.

In 2023 we launched our first festival with the North Bend Trail Fest. This new event is designed to showcase what the Snoqualmie Valley area has to offer for mountain adventures and services. We plan to launch the Leavenworth Trail Fest in 2024 that will follow the same guidelines as the North Bend Trail Fest along with another festival the Mt Si Vert Fest in downtown North Bend. 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.
