A new race at Snoqualmie Pass! This race, known as the Brown Bear Salmon Run, features an amazing course up, down, and around the Snoqualmie Pass area for 15 kilometers. Evergreen Trail Runs will be hosting this race for the first time in partnership with Brown Bear Car Wash. The size of the race will be limited due to permit limitations. Snoqualmie Pass needs no introduction! Well known as a ski area in the winter and a mountain bike area in the summer, this will be the first trail run to be held at Snoqualmie Pass (that we are aware of!). The course will feature a fun selection of singletrack and Forest Service/Ski Area Access roads that are surprisingly pleasant. For the final stretch of the course you’ll be exposed to stunning views of the expansive area around the pass. The Brown Bear Salmon Run race starts and finishes at the Summit West Base area. The race course comprises of scenic singletrack and 4wd roads. The run starts out along a pleasant stretch of singletrack. After 4 miles, the race course veers off the singletrack and takes you up a Forest Service Road towards the Summit at Snoqualmie Nordic Ski Area near the top of the mountain. After winding along on skinnier trails and wider nordic trails, you’ll make your way to the Snoqualmie Ridgeline on ski area access roads. The views are stunning along the ridgeline. You’ll follow along the undulating ridgeline or close to it with surprisingly enjoyable ski area access roads before you descend back to the Summit West base area to finish.

Another great Evergreen race with free professional photos, a well marked route, real soap and water outside the starting restrooms, small race bib with timing chip, supportive staff and volunteers, great scenery. I was having trouble really running the course because of all the challenging rocks and roots, and just not being strong; but was still able to make the cutoff.
Awesome course!
This is a true off-road/Trail course. Kudos to the designers and planners. If you want to be challenged? This is the course. Hopefully this race is back in 2025. MORE

With the exception of running in the Colorado Rockies, I loved this course.
The diverse terrain of single track, tree roots, boulders, forest service road, amazing views that kept changing throughout the 15k.
That distance was awesome.
Cannot wait to participate again next year and hope it will open up to others who will be able to enjoy it also.
Oh the meatballs after the race, thumbs up.
