Located at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, Race the Wolf courses are designed to provide runners with a mountain trail running experience within a supportive, front country atmosphere. You’ll run and hike over a range of surfaces as you explore Schweitzer Mountain on well-marked courses through subalpine forest, along ridge tops, and with views extending to Canada and Montana.

Race the Wolf courses offer the challenge and excitement of a day in the mountains, but with an easy drive, lots of aid stations, and restroom availability while you’re out there. Plus a fun atmosphere for your spectating friends and family.

We think it’s the perfect event for anyone who runs or enjoys trails: 5–10km enthusiasts, short distance speedsters, trail-curious road runners, new ultramarathoners, and experienced trail runners alike!

Course Info:

Race the Wolf’s trail 5-miler takes athletes on a scenic route over Schweitzer Mountain’s cross-country ski trails. You’ll run or hike through beautiful subalpine forest with views of the valley, Lake Pend Oreille and Cabinet Mountains into Montana.

We think this is the perfect course for 5km or 10km road runners looking for a trail experience, fun runners, avid hikers, and families with children alike!

This course is about 1/3 shaded and 2/3 in full sun, so on warm years in can get quite hot—plan ahead. There will be a water-only aid station at Picnic Point.
