Hopefully we will be able to go back to using our original route in 2021 which ends in Alki?

I will keep updating this page as we get closer to race day.

Also, our Facebook page keeps everyone up to date.

2020 Green River Marathon

Green River Marathon is a “Social Distancing Run”.

In other words, we want to make it very clear to our participants that it is not just business as usual. We want a run that is safe as can be, and in compliance with Washington State Mandates. We will be insisting on social distancing while the run takes place.

Green River Marathon Update (5/31/20)

"Keep It Moving" is the theme for this year's race.

No congregating at the start or finish area.

Runners will start ASAP upon arriving.

Please have your donations ready to turn in or prepaid via Zelle.

Runners are encouraged to leave shortly after they finish their race.

With everyone's cooperation, everything will turn out great.

Please reread the (5/6/20) update.

Green River Marathon Update (5/6/20)

1. Green River Marathon is NOT a Boston Qualifying Race for 2020.
2. Green River Marathon course has been changed.
3. Green River Marathon course will start at same location and run 6.55 miles south and back.
4. Algona/3^rd St and Interurban Trail will be marked as the turn around. No marking at the start
5. Green River Marathon is including a Half Marathon option along with the Full Marathon.
6. Green River Marathon will start out as a Virtual Race (Available now 5/6/20).
7. Green River Marathon will be an Actual Race on 6/6/20.
8. I will be at the start of the race on June 6, 2020.  Just after 5:00 AM.
9. Runners will start as soon as they arrive. Don’t start before I get there.
10. Runners should start between 5:10 AM and 8:30 AM on 6/6/20.
11. Race will be over at 1:45 PM on 6/6/20.
12. My job will be check in, take donations, parking lot security, and finish line misc.
13. I will mail the volunteers to tell them our plans and to say they are not needed.
14. Volunteers/crews will be welcome just to tour the course if they want to.
15. Runners are welcome to do this as a virtual race and as an actual race. Only 1 donation req.
16. Not sure how long Virtual Race will last – Up to 6/6/20 and maybe longer?
17. Any course can be used for the Virtual Race (not just our Green River Marathon course).
18. Face Masks are required before and after running the race.
19. Social Distancing must be observed at all times (6 feet separation).
20. Your results will be posted when your $20.00 donation to Northwest Harvest is received.
21. Please use Zelle to send your donation to: barrick@greenrivermarathon.com
22. Cash/check will be accepted on 6/6/20. Prefer to use Zelle. Sanitary precautions  encouraged
23. A check or cash can be sent to my home address (prefer not to use this method – last resort)
24. NO porta potty at the start of the race (eliminating germs).
25. NO bibs used. This would make it look more like a larger gathering.
26. NO chip timing. Hand timing and self – reporting of times.
27. NO Aid Stations. Runners must carry their own supplies. (Eliminating germs).
28. NO medals given out for this race (eliminating germs).
29. Medals are where I have the most struggles at this time. Things may change?
30. Not sure of the turnouts - so I will be donating the cost of the medals to Northwest Harvest.
31. After getting this matched twice, this will guarantee Northwest Harvest at least $2500.00.
32. The need for donations to Northwest Harvest is greater than it has ever been right now. Donations are urgently needed. Your donations will be matched and matched again so that a donation of $20.00 will become $80.00. Also, if racers care to donate more than the initial $20.00, it will be sincerely welcomed.
33. More updates coming. Please be patient – things may and probably will change.

Thank you

Steve Barrick
