Experience the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest at the Soaring Eagle Trail Run on May 16, 2026, in Sammamish, WA. Offering 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon distances, this popular event by Evergreen Trail Runs takes you from the city bustle into a serene forest setting. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 66F and lows near 49F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable trail adventure.

The course navigates the intricate trail network of Soaring Eagle Regional Park, featuring a mix of wide, well-maintained paths like the Pipeline Trail and winding singletrack through mature forests and sanctuary wetlands. While considered relatively flat compared to many other trail races, runners will encounter "easy elevation gains and declines" with 5K gaining around 200 feet, 10K around 700 feet, and the Half Marathon approximately 1400 feet. Be prepared to "pick up your feet" as the trails are known for roots, loose rocks, and occasional puddles, keeping you engaged and on your toes. Enjoy the lush scenery, bird songs, and creek sounds as you make your way through this beautiful forest.
