One perk of the Pacific Northwest’s winter drizzle is that places like Carkeek Park are lush and green, brightening up even the grayest of days. Plus, our bountiful water gives us stunning views, such as the sight of the Olympic Mountains across the water from Carkeek’s beach. Most importantly for … MORE

    PROS:
    – Great trail marking and volunteers to help at key points
    – Mid-point water at starting area was handy and well-placed for 10k!
    – Great vibezzz — organizers were passionate and invited Seattle Parks & Rec to talk about volunteer opportunities if folks were interested (I was! Since I’m a major beneficiary of my local parks and how well their trails are cared for)
    – Well, it’s in my favorite Seattle park for trail-running 🙂
    – Helpful pre-race info on course, technical stuff
    – Raffle and post-race snacks were fun and appropriate for our chilly day (soup, hot drinks, etc.). Everyone seemed in good spirits and ready to hang around for a bit to enjoy our surprise November sunshine.
    CONS:
    – Parking got a bit chaotic, I think — the park ran out of spots, and the walk from anywhere to the start line outside of the main lot is long/not clear
    – It was not chip timed and we had a big bottleneck in the first few hundred yards that was frustrating for me since I got pushed to the back behind walkers and could not pass easily. The competitor in me got sad. :'( Lesson learned!
