Community Strides, Team Vibes

Established 2005, the Seattle Running Club is a Puget Sound-based running group that celebrates the beauty of our region and our personal potential with training, competition, and community. While the club offers a unique focus on trail running, members also rally on the road, track, and cross country course.

It’s cross country season – check the calendar below for Wednesday workout locations and the XC page for the workout and meet schedule!

    🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ WEDNESDAY WORKOUT! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

    QOTW: “Every hill you climb in cross country is one step closer to victory. Keep pushing.” –Unknown

    Meet at the Madrona Bus Turnaround warmed up and ready to go at 6:30pm. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QpcLptBHRK8g8oVT9

    The construction is finally complete and there's a fresh, new path to try out!

    🔦Headlamps needed for the CD, but the lights should be on, which typically makes the route pretty bright, though one little section can be darker and harder to see. Wear bright coloured clothing so the cyclists can see you more easily as we will likely cross paths with them.

    Have a great workout! Go Team Blue!🌊
