Testimonials

Thanks for creating these events and bringing so many people together. Each run for me is a celebration of health and our lovely nature, and it makes me so high and happy to be able to share the experience with others. Plus, I've never actually been on this trail, so I was super happy today to have seen it.

I ran the half-marathon at Steilacoom park yesterday, it was an amazing race... My first trail race ... My biggest worry was getting lost but your course was greatly marked ... All the runners were friendly and just felt like a kid running around the forest in general ... Whoop whoop ... Thank you for organizing this great event :)

Beautiful morning mist, beautiful trails, big hill climb, and a chance to get beat (and inspired) by a fit-as-heck 81-year-old! What else could there be??

Thanks for putting on such a great race! I love Grand Ridge Park and am glad it's getting some visibility for other trail runners. The course was great - very well-marked and quite challenging. The aid stations were well stocked and support on the course was well placed.
And despite how wrecked I looked on the course it was great to have people out on the course taking photos! I will be looking forward to the next trail!

I had so much fun Saturday. That was my first trail run. My body is a little beat up. The pictures turned out great. By the way for the short run I did the trail was marked great.

I love to trail run, and to find a group as devoted to both trail running and keeping it green makes Evergreen Trail Runs a great find here in the Northwest. Roger is passionate and welcoming, and it was obvious to me that he was excited for every single runner who finished the very challenging course at Grand Ridge. The post-race refreshments were amazing, as well. I can't wait to run with them again!

I recently did my first Evergreen Trail Runs 10-mile trail race, at Grand Ridge, and it was so much fun that I've already registered for the rest of the races this summer.  The course was creative and challenging, with lots of elevation gain, but my fellow runners kept me motivated and entertained.  It's a great group of runners.  And, of course Roger and his volunteers did a great job with registration and logistics.  I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for great trail running and a little competition.

Great race, well organized, course well marked. Challenging course, but lots of fun. Nice change of pace from road racing. Beautiful scenery. Great post-race food! Race pictures were a nice touch. Highly recommend it!
