Overview
Echo Valley is a two-day trail celebration where every step feels like a retreat. With the sun shining down, the trails wind through ponderosa pine forests and rolling meadows bursting with lupine and balsam root. Runners are rewarded with sweeping views of Lake Chelan and the surrounding wine country, making this event a yearly favorite.
This is a true mountain weekend. Families can join in for the kids’ race, campers can pitch a tent right at the ski area start line, and long-distance runners can chase new personal records on smooth, flowing singletrack. Whether you are out for your first 50K or cheering from the sidelines with a glass of local wine, Echo Valley is about sunshine, trails, and community.

From the base of Echo Valley ski area, runners begin with a sustained but gentle climb on singletrack before opening into rolling trails lined with wildflowers. The 10K dives back down to the finish through Bergman Gulch, while the Half and 50K continue deeper into the ponderosa forest. The Half Marathon follows a shortened portion of the 50K route, with both courses finishing on the playful descent of Waterbar Heaven and one final short climb before the finish. Expect smooth, non-technical trails, wide open views of the Chelan Valley, and a friendly course perfect for both first-timers and seasoned racers.
50K is a full tour of the Echo Valley trail system, with sustained climbs, rolling pine forest singletrack, and generous views before a spirited descent to the finish
