About Northwest Trail Runs

Northwest Trail Runs was started to build a richer schedule of trail running events for trail running enthusiasts and to promote trail running as a fun and healthy way to enjoy the outdoors and explore a variety of beautiful public lands.

Northwest Trail Runs events are inspired in concept by the excellent Pacific Coast Trail Runs events. We greatly enjoy participating in PCTR events when we're in the greater San Francisco area and we hope our runs can approach the fine standard PCTR has set.

Northwest Trail Runs are produced by Meridian Geographics (a.k.a. MerGeo), an active lifestyle event company based in Seattle, WA. MerGeo was founded in 1999 by Eric Bone and aims to enhance the active lifestyles of running, orienteering, and adventure sports enthusiasts in the Northwest and beyond.
