From the Organizer
Langlauf is a 10K Cross Country Ski Race that takes place at the Mount Spokane Nordic Ski Center which is the premier Cross Country Ski Area in the Inland Northwest. The race takes place on the traditional 10K course and has wave starts to accommodate skiers of all abilities and speeds. Even maybe more epic than the race itself, are the pre and post race amenities that are enjoyed by all racers. This is the biggest and oldest Cross Country Race in the Pacific Northwest...you don't want to miss it!
Once again, this year we are offering an adaptive skier category. If you are visually impaired or a sit skier you will be able to participate in our Wave start, but at Junction 1 will continue on Linder Road to a turnaround at the Inland gate then back to Brian's and our traditional finish line. Adaptive skiers must register but their guide skier can accompany them for no cost. Guides will need to sign a waiver the morning of the race and do not need to pay to register unless they want to be timed. Guides will be considered a volunteer and be entered in the prize drawing.

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
