The 25K course follows the first 4K of the 10K route, but when the 10K turns back, this route heads uphill to the base of the basalt cliffs that Riverside State Park is known for. After climbing the cliffs, the course turns east near an equestrian area and meanders through rolling hills and pine forest before climbing up to a bluff overlooking the Spokane River. Youll then turn back, dropping down to the river and enjoying great views all the way back to the finish line. -

This course is long and difficult! Runners must be able to meet 20 minutes/mile pace. Features significant elevation gain, several technical sections, and a major climb at 16K. Most of the route is single track but is broken up frequently in the first 10k by sections of double track. The route winds through some of the less-traveled areas of Riverside State Park, passing through a basalt basin dubbed Craters of the Moon and climbing from the river at Deep Creek up to the best view on any of our courses. The final 5-6K are a fast downhill finish. -
