Early season miles with a big view
Overview
The Incline Vista 15M is the perfect introduction to Cline Butte. This race circles the butte on a rolling loop of buttery singletrack with 1,600ft of gain. The climbs will test your spring fitness, but the course stays fast and runnable, rewarding you with panoramic views and a smooth finish back at the Cascade View Trailhead.
If you want a challenging but approachable spring race that mixes great scenery with just the right amount of vert, the 15M is a can’t-miss.
Course
The 15M course wraps around the flanks of Cline Butte, blending gradual climbs with fun runnable sections. You’ll get views of the Cascade Range and the open desert landscape throughout. With 80% singletrack, this is a smooth and well-marked course that’s perfect for newer trail runners looking to stretch their mileage or experienced racers looking for a fast spring effort.

About Alpine Running

Alpine Running is a trail race organization rooted in the spirit of the Cascade Mountains, offering a collection of rugged, scenic, and soul-filling events across Oregon and Washington. Founded in 2017 by longtime mountain runner and nurse Trevor Hostetler, Alpine Running was born from a deep passion for wild places and the transformative power of endurance running. Since then, it has grown into a close-knit community of runners who value adventure, camaraderie, and purposeful connection to the trails.
At its core, Alpine Running embodies a low-key yet high-quality ethos. Events are marked by personal touches, from meticulously flagged courses to thoughtful safety planning and warm, volunteer-powered aid stations. Whether you’re pushing your limits in a mountain ultra or enjoying the views on a shorter course, every Alpine race is designed to challenge and uplift.
From the Elkhorn Crest 50 to other remote alpine races, Alpine Running events are as much about self-discovery as they are about competition. If you're seeking meaningful mountain miles with an authentic trail family, Alpine Running will welcome you with open arms and wild terrain.
