The Glacier Peak Institute Trail Races are suspended while we build capacity!

Due to the washout on FS Road 23, the upper trailhead of the White Chuck Bench Trail is inaccessible to motor vehicles. Because of the challenges this poses for runner safety and aid stations, we have made the decision to cancel the 2023 GPI Trail Race. It has yet to reopen in 2024. We are working to build capacity to launch our trail race series again in 2025!

Thank you for your understanding and the support you’ve given to a grassroots non-profit and recreation events by and for local communities!
