The highly anticipated Wildwood Trail bridge over Burnside is starting Monday and won't be done until the fall. Don't fret, we found an alternative using Fischer Ln. and a connector trail for those still wanting to do a Wildwood E2E in Forest Park.

Have you ever wondered if poles would help during a run or race and if so, when should you use them? Eric Lubell writes about how using poles helped him at UTE 100 this year and how to decide if poles will work for you. https://nwdirtchurners.com/to-pole-or-not-to-pole-that-is-the-question/

To Pole or Not to Pole, That is the Question

In 2018 I got my butt handed to me at the UTE 100 trail race in the LaSal mountains of Utah. I did a lot of climbing in my training, but nothing can compare to trying to climb 19,000 feet in one push. Shortly after the DNF, I invested in a pair of trekking

Looking at a "runcation" in the near future and want to figure out transportation and lodging? Why not combine them both with Wonderland Expeditions? Matthew reviews how the Bandit fared on the OR PCT FKT last month. https://nwdirtchurners.com/wonderland-expeditions-bandit-review/

See how Erin Lavoie described the 2019 NUT for her first 100k finish in her race report. https://nwdirtchurners.com/the-nut-100k/

The NUT 100k – A Go Beyond Racing Race Report
