Description
The PNW is the best place to race in the summer months. Known as the upper left, the scenery is a MUST-see in Washington. The small towns welcome you with epic views of Mount Rainier in the glory of sunshine. Run like the Mountain is out!
The Foothills Rails to Trails Coalition is the non-profit behind the beautiful paved trail that connects the scenic towns of Washington. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Mount Rainier, runners get to enjoy blue skies, mountain views, and the cool river for a day of running fun with friends.
We often like to bring ice cream or popsicles to the finish to top off a great day of sunshine and running!
