Sri Chinmoy 7 & 13-HR Races - Seattle
This event features timed loop running races held on a 1.54-mile loop in Magnuson Park, Seattle, with views of Lake Washington and sections of wooded single track. The loop surface is a mix of pavement, gravel and chip, and the course starts and finishes by the swimming beach with free parking nearby.
Two solo time-based formats are offered: a 13-hour and a 7-hour race. Organizers provide chip lap counting and a well-stocked aid station offering water, electrolytes, packaged food items, potatoes, simple sandwiches, nuts, fruits, vegetables, first aid and caffeinated drinks. Participants are encouraged to bring their own fluid bottle to reduce cup waste.
Facilities at the venue include washrooms, a solar-heated outdoor shower and post-race swimming access. Entry includes a running T-shirt; registration by April 23 guarantees a race T-shirt. A boxed vegetarian post-race meal is provided by the lake. Awards include medallions and certificates, with top two male and female finishers in "Under 60" and "60 & Over" categories recognized, plus a participant drawing.
The event is sponsored by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. Proceeds support the biennial Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run. All races are open to runners 18 and older. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
