Frost Eagle Trail Runs

Join Northwest Trail Runs for a 5-mile or Half Marathon at Soaring Eagle Regional Park, a sanctuary for birds, deer, bobcats, and black bear and a quiet sanctuary for humans. Six hundred acres of forest and wetlands interrupt miles of suburban homes on the edge of the flat Sammamish Plateau and are host to 12 miles of trail that walkers, runners, mountain bikers, and equestrians enjoy.

The trails at Soaring Eagle are arranged like a spider’s web, with the wide Pipeline Trail cutting through the center and a network of interconnected trails radiating out from it. The surrounding trails were designed with little deference to the landscape, meaning that they twist, turn, swoop, and dive over all the little bumps in the park. With no major climb, you may find yourself hooting and hollering over these miniature roller coasters and begin thinking of the word “hill” in a whole new way. There is also a healthy population of rocks and roots on the trails, so there will be little time for zoning out as you dab through nature’s hopscotch.
