Once again Dave captured the day for us - Thank You Dave!

I really appreciate the efforts of my volunteers from: Checking runners in, collecting donations, setting up aid stations, taking pictures, monitoring the course, manning the aid stations, gathering results and more.

Course

Start and finish will be at 19970 Russell Rd, Kent, WA 98032 - Three Friends Fishing Hole.

The sign-in table is at a large picnic shelter at the end of the parking lot.

1/2 marathon will be out and back  ~ 6.57 miles South on the Green River Trail and finish where you started. Full Marathon will continue with another out and back on the Green River Trail South  ~ 6.57 miles and finish where you started.

Google was giving some runners bad driving directions to the start in 2015 + 2016. So sorry for the runners who missed the race.

I am just going to write this: You are required to print these instructions if you are not 100% confident you know where the start is. I do not know how or why this location is not found by GPS by some - me included - depending on my location at the time?

EASY DIRECTIONS TO THE START LINE OF “IN UNITY WE RUN”

**** FROM I-5 ****

1 - Take Exit 152 onto Orillia Rd (not onto S 188th St)

2 - Go downhill toward the Kent Valley on Orillia Rd

3 - After about a half mile, take the first available left onto S 200th St

4 - After another half mile you will cross the Green River and take an immediate right onto 58th Pl S

5 - Follow 58th Pl S a short distance into the parking lot.

The sign-in table is at a large picnic shelter at the end of the parking lot.

**** FROM HWY 167 ****

2 - Go about 3.5 miles completely across the Kent Valley on S 212th St and further as it continues uphill as Orillia Rd S (If you reach I-5, you have gone about a half mile too far.)

3 - Take a right onto S 200th St.

4 - After about a half mile you will cross the Green River and take an immediate right onto 58th Pl S

5 - Follow 58th Pl S a short distance into the parking lot.
