Lord Hill delivers a full spectrum of trail running joy: steep hills, soft forested flats, quick descents, rocky patches, and a few muddy surprises that will keep you honest. Every distance starts with the climb up Lord Hill, a punchy ascent that sets the tone for the day. Once you crest the ridge, the course threads through neon-green ferns, crosses cold creeks, and skirts the edges of quiet lakes. The trails wind over Devil’s Butte, descend into canyons, and climb back out before linking onto wider paths toward the finish.

For the 5K, you’ll scale the infamous Lord Hill before cutting back to the finish on a fun, fast descent. The 10M loop gives you the full tour of the park, with rolling terrain after that first climb. The 20M doubles the loop, and the 50K triples it, testing both stamina and grit. Aid stations are strategically placed to keep you fueled, and every lap delivers the mix of mud, roots, and scenery that makes the Pacific Northwest trails unforgettable.
