Location:

This is a point to point race. The start will be at Duthie Hill Park and finishes at Central Park in Issaquah. We will be providing gear (clothes, lights, etc) transportation to the finish. 

 

Start: Duthie Hill Park - 26100-26156 SE Issaquah-Fall City Rd, Issaquah, WA 98029

Finish: Central Park 1907 NE Park Dr, Issaquah, WA 98029. Note that we are moving the start farther into Duthie park this year to allow more separation before you hit the Grand Ridge trail just after you cross the road. 

​

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has graciously offered us parking at the church grounds at 26529 SE Duthie Hill Rd, Issaquah, WA 98029. This is the recommended parking due to the fact the Duthie parking lot closes at dusk and we cannot guarantee that your vehicle will not get locked in.
