Your Destination Mountain Running Festival
Ski Hill 55k
Date: May 23, 2026
With the launch of the Leavenworth Trail Fest we thought it worthy of a longer distance and to honor the venue area. (Notice: This event is not part of the Vert Running Series)
The Ski Hill 55k is the ultimate test of endurance and adventure!
Join us as we push the boundaries and embrace the thrill of conquering nature’s challenges. With two loops of the breathtaking Leavenworth Skyline course, you’ll experience double the views and double the excitement!
But this event is not just about running. It’s a celebration of mountain adventure, where you can immerse yourself in a full festival of mountain running products and services.
Spectators, get ready to witness the awe-inspiring determination of these ultra running athletes as they tackle this demanding course not once, but twice. Feel their energy and witness firsthand what it takes to go long in the mountains.
Dare to push your limits? Join us on Ski Hill 55k and discover the true meaning of perseverance, strength, and achieving new heights. Are you ready to leave your mark on these fast flowing mountain trails?
