“The Runner Stumbles” 5K walk, and 5k/10k race will take place this July at Nelson Dairy Farm in Suncadia. The course rolls over tree-lined trails and alongside the Cle Elum River. The 5K run/walk and 10K run will be on paved pathways and single-track trails in a forested setting.
It’s fast: good for new runners, and those hoping to PR alike. There will be trophies for the top 3 finishers of both distances, and ribbons three places deep awarded by age-group . . so, you stand a good chance of taking something home to remember the day by. There will be refreshments, and a dash and drawing for kids… fun for runners, walkers and their families.
The race takes its name from the last movie made by Stanley Kramer (The Wild One, High Noon). “The Runner Stumbles” was filmed in Roslyn in the late 70s and is set in a rural Roman Catholic parish. A nun in tennis shoes has been the race’s mascot for well over a decade. This race is a throwback. It’s run completely by volunteers, with the proceeds benefitting local youth. This year we are again helping Cle Elum/Roslyn HS cross-country, which has really developed into a successful program… great young people on and off the course.
It will be a good day for a good cause. Hope to see you there.

Hilly but a nice course.
No finisher medals and shirt was cotton.
Good timing and I ran my butt off but too many good and fast runners.
Had a good time and they had some snacks at the end but no water on the course.
