Mountain Magic 2024 was our best event yet! A record number of runners took on some of the most exciting and beautiful running trails in the Inland NW! The new 25k course was a hit, and the energy was high around the finish line and lodge all morning. It's no surprise - rolling trails, pine trees and whole lot of happy faces—what more could a runner ask for?Let's make 2025 even bigger and better!
These trails are winding, rolling, and really really special. Most are wide ski trails through the pines. For the longer distances, there are a couple of minor peaks to summit, making them runnable but still enough elevation gain and loss to push you to your limit!
On the post-event survey, runners rated Mountain Magic 2024 an 8.6 out of 10. Not too bad, huh? This year we'll continue to build on what's worked and tweak the things that can be improved.
New for 2025!
> Medals. Trail races typically don't have medals but you've been asking for them, so we're delivering! AND everyone who's run Mountain Magic in past years will get a special medal for that number of years (if you register by May 20).
> 35k Grand Tour. Looking for a trail marathon, a challenging warmup for your summer ultra, or just a fun hard run? 35k is an odd distance, but that's what it takes to cover almost all the best running trails in the Nordic ski trail system. We're calling it the Grand Tour.
It's the 10k loop last year's winner called "The best trail race I’ve ever done!" and the 25k loop last year's runners gave a rating of 9 our of 10 and one runner said was "challenging but you could still press the pace." Are you up for the challenge?

"This race to me is all about what makes the trail running community special. Everybody is so down to earth and friendly. It’s a relaxed, fun and supportive environment. The course is well marked and simply beautiful and the communication about the event was great. And the food, yum." - Anonymous
Bottom line, Mountain Magic is going to follow in the footsteps of 2024 as the trail running party to kick off your summer.
