Course
This year's course is an out and back format with a central start/finish line. Runners and walkers will enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Washington and end the event on the main lawn for refreshments and the awards ceremony.
The 5K runners will start just past Seward Park Clay Studio under the Start/Finish arch. They will head out 1.55 miles to the turn around and head back to the finish line. Runners should self-seed themselves behind the appropriate pace/mile banners starting at 7 min/mile. 5K walkers/strollers/wheelchairs should start toward the back for safety and to give runners plenty of room. We will have a water station at the 5K turnaround!
The 3K walkers will start immediately following the 5K. Wait for the 2nd race horn. Walkers will head and turn around at the 1.5K mark and return to the finish line always remembering to stay right to let faster runners by.
Both the 3K and 5K are timed by Tortoise and Hare, Race Management, LLC. Your time will start when you cross the starting line! There are medals for top 3 5K Run male and female finishers in age categories (under 10, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+)
Seward Park is dog friendly. Well behaved leashed dogs are certainly welcome at the Run of Hope. Remember your poop bags! :)
