Day of the Race

Please cooperate with all parking volunteers and course officials.

The course contains a fair amount of pavement, flats or training shoes are recommended (not spikes).

Timing/Prizes

This race is a charity fun run and will be run without bibs or chips. We will hopefully have a clock setup at the finish and will call mile splits. You are encouraged to use a watch if you want the most accurate time. Because we do not have an electronic timing system, there will not be categorized results posted. We may be creating a list of places and corresponding times so you can find your place after the race. You are encouraged to take this running opportunity to support a very good cause.

There will be prize drawings with donated items from, Run 26, Brooks, and Seattle Sounders. Apart from that, you will have the satisfaction of running a great race and helping raise money for Haiti.  There will be limited number of t-shirts available for a $10 donation (to the charities).
