Welcome to the Huckleberry Hundred, 50M, & 25M
Experience the rugged, beauty of the Inland Northwest at peak harvest season. Hosted on the stunning slopes of Mt. Spokane State Park, the Huckleberry Hundred course challenges runners with true mountain-terrain and some brag worthy elevation gains (4,750ft per loop).
The Course Layout
All three distances utilize a highly logistically friendly, scenic 25-mile mountain loop. The course features technical singletrack, sweeping descents through shaded inland rainforests, and panoramic views of the Selkirk Mountains.
Because it is a loop course, you will return to the main staging area (Race HQ) at the end of every lap. This provides unmatched community energy, easy drop-bag access, and allows your crew to set up a single, permanent "home base" pit area for the weekend. There will also be 3 additional aid stations on each loop with plenty of water, Coke, Hummingbird Fuel and sweet and salty snacks.
The 100-Miler: 4 Loops | 19,000 feet of total elevation gain & loss The 50-Miler: 2 Loops | 9,500 feet of total elevation gain & loss The 25-Miler: 1 Loop | 4,750 feet of total elevation gain & loss
The Weekend Schedule
To prevent trail bottlenecks and ensure a smooth flow through remote aid stations, the race features staggered morning starts on Saturday, July 25th:
- 5:30am-7:00am bib pickup
- 7:00 AM 50 Mile and 100 Mile Start
- 8:30 AM 25-Mile Start
The Huckleberry Experience
This isn't just a race; it's a Pacific Northwest summer tradition. We are leaning heavily into the peak berry season to provide a truly unique mountain experience:
- Wild Aid Stations: Fuel your climb with freshly foraged Mt. Spokane huckleberries.
- Earn the Buckle: 100-mile finishers will take home a heavy, rugged, custom-minted gunmetal belt buckle.
- Finish Line Feast: Celebrate your achievement with fresh huckleberry treats and cold local brews at Race HQ.
- Wild Wilderness: You are running in prime wildlife territory. Keep your eyes peeled for local black bears who love the berries just as much as we do!
*Note: Due to this Race's unique location, registration caps are strictly enforced across all distances. Secure your spot on the mountain start line today!

A: There are a few camping spots that can be reserved up in the state park. Please contact Mt. Spokane State Park to make arrangements. There are local hotels close by as well. When scouting for this race, we stayed at the Spokane Comfort inn and really liked the hotel and the prices were excellent as well. This is where we recommend people stay if they don't know where to stay.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can I bring my dog or other pet with me?
A: Unfortunately our insurance does not allow animals to be brought to this event.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What amenities do you offer?
A: We will have plenty of porta potties and vault toilets, water, electrolytes, coke, lots of food and snacks that will be available for free (please don't count on us for all your food for the whole day though), Each runner who signs up in time will get a race t-shirt, every finisher will get a custom medal that we engrave on the spot with your name and race results.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I want to sign up at the very last minute, but I still want a shirt and a medal. Will I still get one?
A: We have to purchase the shirts 2 weeks in advance and the medals 40 days in advance so we are guessing on the number of participants. We purposely guess way over what we expect to see, but you will be at the mercy of shirt sizes and qty left on hand. As far as medals, we will make sure that every finisher gets a medal no matter when they signed up.
