Lessons Learned from Race Reports
- While it’s a small race, the out and back sections can get crowded
- Likely to have wet, rainy conditions being in Seattle, so be prepared for any weather condition
- Could get windy with out and back sections, so adjust your effort accordingly into the wind
- Out and back section along the river can be a bit boring for scenery
- Small town race feel, so no need to show up hours before the race, as logistics like parking, packet pickup, porta-potties, etc, are easier
- Could have some gravel spots near the turnaround on the second out and back
- Since the half and 10k runners start at 8am, if you’re a fairly fast runner in the marathon, you may catch them, as they start out on the second out and back
- Since the small hills are in the first out and back, you likely won’t notice them
