Pacific NW XTERRA Trail Run Series

Two new races in Washington state will also join the XTERRA Trail Run Series schedule in 2012. The first event will be the XTERRA Fort Steilacoom Trail Run at Lakewood, Wash., on March 24. That will be followed by the XTERRA Lord Hill Trail Run at Snohomish, Wash., on June 2.

More races in the region will be added later in the year, and the XTERRA Pacific Northwest Series will become a full series in 2013.

Below is the 2010 XTERRA Trail Running National Championship in Bend, Oregon: More than 400 elite runners from around the world participated in the twisty-turny, hilly, muddy, rock-star-of-a-trail-run race in beautiful central Oregon.
