Experience the exhilarating challenge and breathtaking beauty of the Mountain Magic Trail Run on June 28, 2026, in Spokane, WA. This highly-regarded event, starting and finishing at the picturesque Selkirk Lodge in Mt. Spokane State Park, offers distances of 25K, 10K, and 5K, catering to both seasoned trail runners and those new to off-road adventures. Known for its "challenging but runnable" courses, the race unfolds across the stunning, rolling Nordic ski trails of Mt. Spokane, treating runners to a blend of winding paths, wide ski trails through towering pines, and sweeping views of the valley below. Expect a "wonderfully varied" terrain featuring hills, grass, mud, gravel, and turns, with longer distances summiting minor peaks that provide significant yet manageable elevation gains. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 79°F and lows around 54°F, with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The Mountain Magic Trail Run has built a reputation as a "trail running party to kick off your summer," celebrated for its incredibly supportive and friendly atmosphere. Runners consistently praise the courses, with one 10K winner calling it "The best course I've ever run!" and the 25K receiving a high rating of 9 out of 10. Aid stations, located roughly every 2-3 miles, are well-stocked with water, sports drinks, and energy food, though participants should note this is a cupless event and are encouraged to bring their own hydration vessels.

Beyond the trails, the Mountain Magic Trail Run fosters a vibrant community spirit. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a delicious included lunch and non-alcoholic beer. The event also contributes to local non-profits, adding a charitable element to your racing experience. With its perfect blend of challenging terrain, magnificent scenery, and a genuinely welcoming vibe, the Mountain Magic Trail Run promises an unforgettable day on the trails for all participants.
