Pie High Trail Run

For those looking for a hilly race, Pie High Trail Run is a great choice! And if you also enjoy a slice of delicious pie, then Pie High Trail Run is the perfect choice.

The NWTR Pie High Trail Run course starts at the south end of the park and immediately spreads out the field with a respectable climb. From there, the course meanders through mossy forests, along tranquil ponds, creeks, and wetland preserves. The course itself is a combination of single-track, old logging road, maintained hiking path, and a few bridges for good measure. It’s a very diverse course. Boredom is not an option at Lord Hill!

The courses for all distances start and finish near the Snohomish River at the South end of the park. The routes are fairly hilly, with a big climb out of the start, then a mix of steep and moderate grades, as well as some flatter sections. These courses are moderately hilly by trail running standards. Courses include a mix of wider and narrower trails, with the newly-redesigned courses taking advantage of more of the sweet, new single-track trails. Most of the trails are not very twisty, but there are some parts with more twists and turns.

With the construction over the past few years of many fun, new trails at the park, we decided it was time to give the courses a makeover. All the routes are new (as of July 2015), and the Half Marathon is now a single loop.

So if you’re feeling up to a challenge, for a trail run that will leave you feeling proud at the finish, then join us at Pie High Trail Run!
