You get a great view of Mt Si from the starting line at North Bend’s Torguson Park and just looking at it will send chills up and down you while contemplating on what you’re about to take on.

This event starts at Torguson Park and takes runners out to the Little Si trailhead where you’ll begin the quick climb out of the valley floor. After a short climb a flowing and rolling trail takes you to the ramp up to the Little Si summit where participants will get a quick view of the Snoqualmie Valley area. Then off they go back to the finish line. The 10K course has 1275 feet of vert giving all the participants a taste of the Vert Running Series.
