About this race
The Sunflower Relay, Half, and Full Trail Marathon is an incredible opportunity to run through some of the most spectacular fields of wildflowers in the Methow Valley. Portions of the trail travel through private property that can only be accessed during this event, giving runners of all ages and abilities the opportunity to experience the carpeted sunflower-filled meadows that connect the towns of Mazama and Twisp . Run either as an individual in the half or full marathon or form a team of 2-5 members.
This race sells out every year, so please register early!
