Purpose and logistics
The event is organized by Assistance League of the Eastside to raise funds for Operation School Bell. Operation School Bell provides funds so selected students can shop at Fred Meyer for essentials such as clothing, shoes, books, school supplies, medications, and groceries. Students are selected by school personnel from the Bellevue, Lake Washington, and Northshore School Districts. The Assistance League of the Eastside serves unmet needs of children and adults affected by hardship or violence.
The in-person race location is Marymoor Park, 6046 W Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE, with parking suggested at Lot K by the tennis courts and the start near Baseball Field #5. Results are posted through Woodinville Running Company. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
