2026 Spring Creek Memorial Trail Run

Race Information

The race is held on the beautiful Spring Creek trail with wildflowers and Aspen trees next to bubbling Spring Creek. The 9.5 mile race is run on an up and down scenic loop on primitive trail, two track, single track and briefly on forest service road. This course gains ~1,750 ft. in the first 4 miles with most of that being from mile 2-4. This section of the race takes the runner up unimproved rocky and narrow single track and over several large downed trees before it descends on a smooth rolling downhill trail.

The 5K race is an out-and-back on the beautiful Spring Creek trail on rolling two-track and single-track. Come out for a great day of running, a prize drawing and an even better post-race meal made by Freshies.
