Description
A fun 5 Mile run that combines the two fantastic trails built by the Skagit Trail Builders: Pumphouse Trail and Hill Creek Trail. These two trails are currently just connected by the Pumphouse Bridge (soon to be connected by a middle bridge which will NOT be part of this run.) 2.75 miles of trails in the Wild accessed by a one mile grassy access road.
Why Wild? Bears, bobcats, cougars, eagles, Coho salmon, bald eagles, Red Tail hawks, Great Blue Herons, beavers, and more make this one wild local trail system but not to worry, it is winter!
Due to limitations at the starting area the event has now filled at 150 runners. You can still get on the wait list since I am sure people will drop out in February especially since it is a FREE event and have nothing to lose. I will be letting those know the first of February if space has opened up which it will for sure! Thanks for making this a successful event! FIRST ones on the WAITLIST will be the first to gain entry to the event when someone drops out.

Pumphouse Bridge 5 Mile Trail Course
Runners will run up main road and down the road where they will take a right onto Access Road to where Skagit Trail Builders have built about 2.75 Miles of trails: Pumphouse Trail and Hill Creek Trail which are connected by the Pumphouse Bridge. Runners will run up the Access to road to end of property where they will take a left at the upper TH to access the Pumphouse Trail then run down to Pumphouse Bridge where they will cross over to the new Hill Creek Trail. Runners will run this trail counter clockwise which will include the bonus trail in the meadow before hooking back up with main trail that leads back to the bridge and then to the road and back down to the road where they will retrace steps to the finish line after looping around the barns. NO DOGS OR STROLLERS ON THIS COURSE!
STB Double Loop Trail Detailed
Using a map from the Skagit Trail Builders, I have shown the route you will be running on the trails that are now connected by the Pumphouse Bridge. Last year we had the Pumphouse 5K but now I have crossed that bridge to include the Hill Creek Trail and add just about 2 miles to make the run a 5 Miler! You will notice at one point runners might meet one another on the Hill Creek Trail before the bridge. Runners just need to stay RIGHT at that point!
The WILD side of Hill Creek!!!
Division Entries
Etched wooden medals are awarded to top 3 in each division. 3 checks mean that 3 or more entries are in that division. Right now only a few divisions have less than three entries. Will update as each division fills.
Wooden etched Awards
Event though this is a FREE event, Skagit Parks and Recreation has provided awards. Originally they were for the XC Relay but with a little tweaking, all is good.
Thanks to Starbucks and Skagit Runners
This year, Kindra and her crew from Starbucks will be serving hot beverages after the event. We appreciate their contribution to a fun filled morning at Northern State Recreation Site. Also Skagit Runners will be providing muffins and cookies to compliment that coffee!

Skagit Runners will be providing muffins and cookies for runners after the race. Also they will be around to talk about the organization. Come learn about how you might get involved in the club with their 3 races: Tulip Run, Skagit Flats Marathon, and Fowl Run. Also learn about how they give back to the running community through Scholarships, XC donations for providing marathon aide stations, and of course letting me borrow stuff for the middle school and high school XC runs in the fall as well as for this race!
