Enjoy an autumn run through golden larch, quaking aspen, and evergreens in north central Washington at the Whistler Canyon Trail Race, located just a few miles south of Oroville, WA.
Keep your eyes peeled for bighorn sheep and mule deer as you ascend the single track through rocky Whistler Canyon and up to Black Diamond Lake. The trail then opens up to old logging roads being reclaimed by the forest. This race takes you through sagebrush-steppe and montane forest ecosystems, with sweeping views of the valley below. Join the Whistler Canyon Race Facebook page (though, we aren’t very active on FB, so if you have any questions it’s best to email us directly or use the contact form on Ultrasignup.com).
Earn a wood finisher’s medallion (ribbon color and specifics TBD)! Prizes for top 3 men and top 3 women.
50 Mile
Total Distance: ~50.3 miles
Elevation Gain: ~8260 feet
10 Mile
Total Distance: ~9.6 miles
Elevation Gain: ~2600 feet
We hope that everyone enjoys their time in this incredibly special place. Even though Apryle and I call Issaquah, Washington our home, we are always called back to this unique landscape nestled in beautiful Okanogan county. In our preparation for this race, Apryle and I have often said that we are quite jealous of the opportunity to run this 50 and 10 miler. The diversity of terrain, trail, vegetation, and wildlife is like no other place we have run in the state and we hope that it inspires all the participants to explore beyond the beaten path, think outside the box, and try out a new place.
