Here's how Aspire unlocks this beautiful and remote area:
Aspire coordinates all camping reservations, backcountry permits, shuttles and meals to guarantee you an immersive trail running experience. All you have to bring is your running kit and your fitness.
Accomadations: This backcountry run is staged out of the Foggy Dew Campground in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Aspire will provide a group shelter, heaters, a phone/watch/camera charging station, a portable hot shower, and lively camp amenities for a remote but comfortable “glamp” style experience.
Meals: We get it! Nutritious food fuels your adventure. We put care and whole foods into all our meals. Aspire bookends each day with celebratory breakfasts & dinners and provides nutritious options for fuel on trail as well. Most dietary needs accommodated.
Shuttles: Runners can meet us in the Methow Valley or jump in the shuttle that Aspire will operate between Bellingham, Burlington, and the Foggy Dew Campground.
Guide Team: The Aspire team is comprised of welcoming expert guides that provide a safety net, energizing camaraderie, area information, logistical support and meals. Support for this trip comes from our female staff members.

*Payment plans are available for every trip. Get the info on how to set one up today.
**Each year we have to re-apply for a guiding/outfitting permit within the Sawtooth Backcountry. While we fully expect to receive this permit, we are NOT collecting fees until we have our permit in hand. Until that time runners will be added to a waitlist for this trip. Once we have our permit, we will invite runners in the order they registered to finalize their payment and complete their registration for this trip.
