Were heading to the beautiful Leavenworth, Washington for the Vert Running Series race #2 the Leavenworth Skyline 27k and the Leavenworth Trail Fest. The Leavenworth Ski Area will be the venue and it will showcase the skyline just to the North of the city with great views from the ridges of the Cascade Mountains and Eastern Cascades alpine desert views in the fast forest service road sections of Freund Canyon.
This will be the inaugural Leavenworth Trail Fest, which will feature a festival venue that showcases what the Leavenworth area has to offer for outdoor activities. Youll find food and outdoor service vendors along with fun kids events.
Were thankful for the Evergreen MTB Alliance and Leavenworth Ski Hill Area for their great work on the trail system and sharing it with us for this event. Bring the family for the weekend or week to enjoy a great outdoors experience.

Course
The inaugural Leavenworth Skyline 27k will start at the base of the Leavenworth Ski Hill Area. Utilizing much of the awesome MTB trail system this route ascends via The Nut for approximately 2 miles where the route grabs local forest service roads to the top of the Tumwater Ridge (Tumwater Paraglider Launch area parking) where the Summit King and Queen will be determined. It then will descend back down and traverse over to the Freund Canyon area on some fast downhill forest service roads where youre greeted with the views of the dry alpine desert landscape of the Eastern Cascade Mountains. Once at the bottom of the Freund Canyon area a short uphill section will get you to the last fast descent into the start/finish line and festival area.
