About the Event

Challenge yourself on the rugged, high-desert slopes of Rattlesnake Mountain at the scenic and community-focused Laliik Trail Races on March 7, 2026. Celebrating its 9th edition, this event offers four distinct challenges: a 5K, an 11K featuring the brutal "Mountain Goat Challenge" climb, a runnable 10-mile loop, and a strategic 6-hour timed event on the 11K course. Set in Washington's Rattlesnake Slope Preserve, the courses showcase the stark beauty of the shrub-steppe ecosystem with panoramic views of the Columbia River Basin, demanding respect for the unpredictable early spring weather. More than just a race, Laliik is a vital fundraiser, supporting both the Winter Mountain Running Series and the ongoing trail maintenance work of Runners of the Sage, ensuring these pristine trails remain accessible.

The event fosters a grassroots, family-friendly atmosphere with affordable pricing, a cupless policy, and packet pickup at a local bakery, Frost Me Sweet. Unique incentives like a finisher sweatshirt for 6-hour participants, a finisher glass for all, and cash prizes for new course records add extra motivation to tackle the demanding terrain. This is the perfect day for runners of all levels to support trail stewardship while testing their limits on a truly unique and beautiful landscape, where community spirit is as palpable as the climbing. Lace up for a rewarding adventure that directly gives back to the trails you run on.
