Race Preview: The Rain Run

Starting in Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA (just outside of Seattle) this chip-timed half marathon includes a finisher’s medal, a Rain Run umbrella, snacks – including cupcakes with sprinkles, and random prize give-aways. Cupcakes with sprinkles? I’m willing to embrace the rain for a good cupcake. What am I saying? I just ran in the rain this morning – no cupcakes required – but they sure would have helped!
If cupcakes aren’t motivation enough, this race course is said to be FLAT! The out and back course travels along the scenic Sammamish River trail between Redmond and Woodinville. This race is limited to just 700 runners, so don’t wait too long to register! Walkers are welcome, but be aware that the race course will close after 3 1/2 hours.
Did I mention that this half is flat and they have cupcakes? What are you waiting for? Grab your rain-ready running gear and get registered!
