Community Runs

At the heart of Wonderland Running is community.

Welcome to Wonderland Running's Community Runs Page!

Wonderland Running is a Pacific Northwest-based trail running company that doesn’t just put on beautiful, wild races... we also love our festive delightful, inclusive community events in Washington, Oregon, and California. We may also possibly be enamored of hills. We also have the inside scoop on a porcupine easement.

Our community runs are free and open to runners of trails, observers of hills, and wanderers of wildscapes of every pace, distance, identity, and background. No matter who you are, or where you are at with running & life, we would love for you to join us!

Here is the official Wonderland Running Club on Strava, where we share our events:

We are stoked to be hosting this year's Horse Heaven Hill Hell in partnership with the amazing and joyful Runners of the Sage. They are a cornerstone of the Tri-Cities running community. We look forward to seeing you in the sweeping, sage-scented vastness of the Horse Heaven Hills for this one-of-a-kind community run. Do as many or a few hills as you like in the potpourri of hills... and if you are lucky you will here the alluring coyote choruses or see the illustrious tumbleweed tornados!

Horse Heaven Hill Hell takes place on the ancestral lands taken from the Umatilla, Wanapum, Nez Perce, and Yakama peoples.
