Half Marathon (13.1 miles) is an up-and-back route that goes North on the Ferry County Rail Trail along the headwaters of the Sanpoil River and Curlew Lake. Beautiful, scenic views! Surface is mixed.
5k (3.1 miles) runs along the Golden Tiger Pathway and the course is on an ADA compliant surface. Great course for first-time runners, kids, and seasoned runners alike. Strollers welcome.
BIKE
Bike activities include a mountain bike ride, road ride, and gravel grinder.
KETTLE CREST MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE
Hosted by Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance — East Chapter.
Starting from the Jungle Hill Campground, the trail goes up to Sherman Pass and north on the Kettle Crest. After wrapping around Columbia Mountain, riders enjoy a high-speed, rocky descent that benches across the steep hillside.
From there it’s just one more quick pedal to the top of Jungle Hill (make sure to take a right after the campsite). Then drop your seat post for a four mile, 2,100-foot descent right back into camp. A classic, high-speed Forest Service trail, this section sees few tracks, leaving it smooth and rut free—but can strain face muscles from smiling the whole way down.
Total Distance: 14 mi
Total Vertical: 4,000 ft
Location: Jungle Hill Campground (bring your own rig or get a ride with a buddy, there is plenty of parking!)
Ride Starts: 10:00 AM sharp, Saturday, June 29
What to Bring: Capable mountain bike, plenty of water, food for the trail, extra tubes/patch/repair kit, clothes for changing weather conditions
