About the Runner Stumbles
The course runs through forested land at a resort outside Cle Elum, mixing paved pathways with single-track trail. The shorter distance stays on one loop; the longer one adds a second pass around a pair of lakes before rejoining the shared finish stretch. Volunteers are stationed along the route to keep you pointed the right direction.
The post-race gathering happens right at Nelson Farm, where the awards ceremony follows close on the heels of the last finishers. Kids races run alongside the main event, so the start area tends to have a range of ages milling around before the gun.

The Runner Stumbles has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
