Event overview
The Spring Run For Fun is scheduled for March 28 at Bridle Trails State Park in Kirkland, WA. The event offers multiple distances:
- 5 km

- Half Marathon
- Marathon
A youth runner discount of $10 applies to runners in elementary, middle, or high school when registering online.
Course, aid stations and logistics
All longer courses use a 6.55-mile loop through the park. The 5 km is a counterclockwise loop that shortens that larger loop. The loop climbs steadily for about the first mile, is flat to gently rolling in the middle, and descends for roughly the final 3/4 mile. Trails are mostly medium-width or wide and smooth, with low to moderate climb and a few steeper or narrower sections with rocks and roots.
Aid stations are located adjacent to the start/finish and approximately midway on the loop. This results in: Marathon runners passing aid stations seven times, Half Marathon runners three times, 10 km runners once, and 5 km runners not passing an on-course aid station. Aid station supplies include water, Skratch Labs electrolyte drink, and assorted carbohydrate-rich or salty foods. A Discover Pass is required to park inside Bridle Trails State Park.
