2015 The Teanaway Trail Run

05/31/2015

5-km, 10-km, Half Marathon, & Marathon

Sunday, May 31st, 8:00 – 10:00am Starts

Teanaway Community Forest, Cle Elum, WA

It’s always sunny in Teanaway! Purchased by Washington State in 2013, Teanaway Community Forest is the first of its kind in the state of Washington. Its unique designation is meant to protect the wilderness while giving local groups a say in the land’s management, and is a testament to the passion that outdoor enthusiasts have for this Ponderosa Pine-filled valley. Nestled between Wenatchee National Forest and farmland, Teanaway is an oasis for rare wolf packs, wildflowers, and spotted owls. We at Northwest Trail Runs are excited to invite you to this sunny valley, to a truly wild trail run, and catch a peek of Mt. Stuart along the way.

Saturday, May 30th

Lodging & Camping

CAMPING
Make it a beautiful weekend by camping at West Fork Teanaway Campground, less than a mile from the start! This is a free campground with pit toilets and no running water or power. There are not designated camping spots, just a lot of flat, open space for you to pitch your tent. West Fork Teanaway Campground (showing as “Teanaway Campground” on Google Maps) was formerly operated by American Forest Resources and was recently transferred to the state within the new Teanaway Community Forest designation.

Google Map

West Fork Teanaway Campground is very large, with tons of space to pitch a tent, and should not fill. However, in the event that it does fill, you can camp at Eagle Valley, on the south side of I-90.

Eagle Valley, $14 per night for dry camping, $20 for RV hook-ups

HOTELS
If you prefer warmer and softer accommodations, Cle Elum is just a 30-minute drive from the start, and offers numerous hotel options.

Safety & Etiquette

SAFETY
The trails will be open to other users during the event, including pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians (horseback riders). Please be courteous. Horses have the right of way. If you encounter a horse in your path, stop running and talk to the rider. You will probably need to step to the side of the trail to let the horse pass, but sometimes the rider will tell you it is okay for you to walk past. The amount of trail traffic will depend upon the weather.

Participants are responsible for their own safety while participating, and the organizers are neither qualified nor equipped to render medical care in the event of a serious injury. In case of an emergency, call 9-1-1. You are encouraged to bring a cell phone with you as a safety precaution, if you wish.

PASSING ETIQUETTE
Where the trails are narrow, please let other participants pass you if they want to get by. It is a passing runner’s job to tell the person in front that they wish to pass.

HEADPHONES
If you are wearing headphones during the event, please keep the volume low so that you can hear runners behind you. Be especially mindful that runners may be asking you to step aside so they may pass.

DOGS
Dogs are allowed on-leash at this event. Since not everyone is comfortable interacting with dogs, please only bring your dog with you on the course if you can ensure that it does not approach or otherwise interfere with other runners.
