Rattlesnake Ridge Run 5 mi | Half Marathon

Rattlesnake Ridge is the eastern bookend of the Issaquah Alps and the gateway to the rugged Cascade Mountains. The point-to-point course tours the trail that snakes along the length of the ridge, with a variety of forest types, and glimpses back toward Rattlesnake Ledge and Chester Morse and Rattlesnake Lakes, as well as peekaboo views of the Snoqualmie Valley. The mid-April date means snow is likely for a few miles over Rattlesnake Mountain, so this will be an adventure run. The 5-mile is a smooth and fast trip out and back on the verdant Palouse to Cascades Trail.

Come experience Rattlesnake Ridge! This well-loved single-track gem of the eastern Issaquah Alps divides the Snoqualmie River Valley from the vast Cedar River Watershed. The course features a climb through diverse forest types, peekaboo views of the Snoqualmie Valley, and a fast descent to the finish.
