The North Bend Trail Fest is a two-day mountain running weekend in North Bend, Washington, with Sunday races starting from Torguson Park. It begins Saturday morning with the Mt Si VK, a three-mile climb with 3,500 feet of gain, described by Mountain Running Races as the only true vertical kilometer in the Pacific Northwest and the West.
The race options range from the Little Si 10k and kid's races to the North Bend Skyline 30k, which is the Vert Running Series Championship event. Runners seeking the complete challenge can enter the North Bend Double: the Mt Si VK followed by the Skyline 30k, totaling over 10,000 feet of climbing across the weekend. The festival also features a Mountain Adventure Expo, and the VK is followed by a gathering at Pro Ski Shop in North Bend.
