Blue Mountain Bash

Blue Mountain Bash Trail 5k

The second annual Blue Mountain Bash Trail 5k is set in the beautiful Blue Mountains in southeast Washington in the Umatilla National Forest. This out-and-back trail race starts at the Boundary Trailhead and follows the North-South Trail to the course turnaround at the Rose Springs SnoPark. The North-South Trail is a wide, rolling trail perfect for anyone looking to set a new 5k trail PR or just want to give trail running a try!

The Blue Mountain Bash 5k is also the culminating event in the SoleKids, Pomeroy Spring 2025 season.
