The Courses

Both courses travel through the forested landscape surrounding the historic Palouse Divide Lodge. Runners should expect an unpaved, rolling route on forest roads and trails. The 5K course includes about 360 feet of elevation gain. Course markings will help runners navigate the route. A water station will be available near the halfway point of the 10K route.

This is a fun run designed to welcome runners of different experience levels. Whether you choose the 5K or take on the 10K, come prepared for fresh mountain air, beautiful scenery, and a friendly community atmosphere.

Stay for Lodge Fest!

The fun continues after the run with Lodge Fest activities, including live music, food vendors, crafts, outdoor recreation, yoga, a silent auction, and other family-friendly activities. Lodge Fest admission is free, although donations are encouraged to support the event.
