Green River Half and Double Half Marathon (Full) Updated (12/02/24)

PLEASE KEEP CHECKING BACK - THIS YEAR'S (2025) COURSE HAS BEEN CHANGED.

** The bathrooms at the start/finish of this year's race are closed for the season.

** There are bathrooms which will be open at sunrise on race day at a park about 1.5 miles south of our start/finish area.

** We have the course marked to the North as well as to the South.

**Runners can choose to run either North or South getting in their six or three "Out and Backs" from the start/finish area.

Race will be "Out and Backs" starting and finishing at the same location.

Three "Out and Backs" for the Half Marathon.

Six "Out and Backs" for the Full Marathon.

Course

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

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.

**** FROM HWY 167 ****

1 - Take the S 212th St Exit (WinCo exit) and go west (not uphill) onto S 212th St.

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.

I will arrive at the starting area before 6:00 AM.

I will be starting runners who do not believe they will finish their race distance by 2:00 PM.

I am hoping for a 6:00 AM Super Early Marathon Mass Start.

I am hoping for a 7:00 AM Early Marathon Mass Start.

I am hoping for an 8:00 AM Marathon Mass Start.

I am hoping for a 9:00 AM Half Marathon Mass Start.

I am hoping for a 2:00 PM Race Finish.
