The Salmon Run Series is a progression of five races hosted at Tsalteshi Trails. Each race is 5 kilometers long and utilizes a variety of trails in the Tsalteshi Trails system. It’s a great way to build your skills, test yourself from week to week and get to know the trails!

Proceeds are used to fund the Kenai Watershed Forum’s summer youth camps.
Individual races are $10 for Tsalteshi members and $15 for non-members. Register for all five races for a discount — $45 for TTA members or $70 for nonmembers. Not a Tsalteshi member? Become one today and save on these and other awesome events!

Summer Rulz!Summer Rules are now in effect at Tsalteshi Trails. Power to the foot- and pedal-powered people!
As of April 15 (move over, Tax Day!), Tsalteshi Trails officially stuck a fork in the Winter That Wasn’t. (Actually, we allowed summer modes of travel this year once the skiable snow disappeared, but April 15 is the annual official switch date.)
Come enjoy your favorite summer activities on the trails, like running, hiking and biking, and don’t forget the disc golf course on the Squirrel Loop.
HOWEVER, the trails are still drying out and firming up, so please avoid squishy spots, so you don’t put ruts or divots in the trails.
Dogs are allowed if leashed or under voice control.
Motorized vehicles are never allowed on the trails.
