A Trail-Blazing Race, Now on Movemint
We’re proud to announce that We Out Here Trail Festival is now on Movemint. Taking place June 12–14 at the traditional homelands of the Coast Salish People (St. Edwards State Park), We Out Here Trail Festival is a welcoming trail race and weekend gathering created specifically for people curious about trail running but who may have never toed a trail start-line before. The event is designed to make trail racing feel accessible, supportive, and community-driven.
Built With First-Timers in Mind
We Out Here removes many of the traditional barriers associated with trail racing. According to the We Out Here leaders, 66% of participants in 2025 identified as first-time trail runners , highlighting the event’s role as an accessible entry point into the sport rather than a test of experience. Multiple distance options and a looped course allow runners to choose their level of participation while staying connected to spectators and fellow athletes throughout the race.
Moreover, while ALL runners are enthusiastically welcomed, We Out Here extends a warm invitation to individuals from underrepresented communities — including Black people, people of color, and people of all races and ethnic identities who have never participated in a trail race before — to join them in making this a truly inclusive event.
Founder Alison Mariella Désir shares:
“We Out Here Trail Fest is for everyone, but in particular, it’s for anyone who felt they didn’t belong in trail running or anyone who has never tried it. This event is built with you in mind. We invite you to register for the race and experience what it’s like to go trail running with a community that has your back.”
More Than Just A Race
The festival experience goes beyond the race, offering opportunities for both runners and non-runners to connect, celebrate, and be part of the community throughout the weekend. Participants can enjoy social gatherings, movement sessions, storytelling, workshops, and other ways to engage with the trails and each other.
Prominent Run Leaders Pushing Sport Forward
We Out Here Trail Fest is led by Alison Mariella Désir and Aaliyah Earvin, whose canonical work in running and endurance sports has been revolutionary in creating inclusive pathways for first-time and underrepresented runners. Together, they are pushing endurance sports forward by making the trails welcoming, accessible, and supportive for all.
It is a privilege for Movemint to host an event of this caliber on our platform. We are proud to support the We Out Here Trail Fest vision of fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and inspiring community experience for everyone, whether they run or simply come to celebrate.
