WHITE ELEPHANT RUN 

5.0 MILE RACE

 Saturday, December 19th, 2020


THAT'S RIGHT, A RACE DURING COVID TIME!!!! 

(IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL)



                                                         


Date & Time: Saturday, December 19th, 2020. My hope is that this can act as a community-building event in these weird times, meeting in small groups. Whether it is a group of people you want to race against or run with, that is great. I will mark the course early in the morning before sunrise and then you can choose to run any time during the day. After you run/race, it would be great if you could POST YOUR RESULTS HERE. Costumes recommended!


Race Course:  It will be marked with white flower arrows. Course will start on Boston St. SE near Olympia South Sound Running store and then turns right onto Deschutes Parkway, down through Tumwater historical park, under the freeway along the trail, right on Deschutes Parkway again, around Capitol Lake and stay on 4th avenue, right on Water Street, right on Columbia, through the State Capitol campus to Water Street again until it rounds the corner and turns into 21st, right on Columbia again, around the corner and over a small triangular grass median to take a right on Capitol Way and finish in front of South Sound Running. It will be an open course not blocked off to traffic, so stay on the sidewalks when possible. 




Awards: I recommend running in a small group of friends and/or family, and each person brings an "award" or present for the other people in your group to exchange after you finish. 


Time schedule:

I will be marking the course early in the morning and then you can run any time on Saturday, 12/19 and post your results here


Registration: None needed, but if you feel like you might need the extra motivation to run in case of inclement race-day conditions, feel free to sign up here before race day.


Cost: None
