This is also the Vert Running Series Championship race, where the top runners will contend for double points towards the overall series along with great prizes and awards for the day including the VERT TICKETS (overall men and women's winners receive free registration to the 2024 Broken Arrow 23k a Golden Trail National Series Event) and also awards in three different divisions.
NORTH BEND SKYLINE 30K DIVISIONS
Elite offers up cash awards and is for the sponsored runners and pros and those that want to get recognized by the sponsors. We want to help local trail running vert monsters achieve their dreams.
Sport is for all recreational runners who want a great challenge but don’t have the time to get out and train like the pros. This is a fun way to meet new friends, challenge yourself while also getting prizes and awards.
Masters is for those who are 50 years of age and over. You are the ones that may still be at the top of your form, but those youngsters are taking away all the awards. You still have that competitive drive and now you can push it with others who are in the same boat.

The North Bend Skyline 30k course:.
This Vert Running Series Championship course will throw a punch at you, with three peaks and 6,600 feet of VERT every inch of your body will scream for more. Yea, Little Si, Mt Si and Mount Teneriffe are places many come to start training and continue training for mountain races and mountaineering. It’s steep and has some of the greatest views of the Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier and even back into the city of Seattle. You get a great view of Mt Si from the starting line at North Bend’s Torguson Park and just looking at it will send chills up and down you while contemplating on what you’re about to take on. Don’t worry, you CAN DO this!

Runners will utilize the Boulder Garden Loop that gives you 850 feet of vert and then head back down and to the finish line.
