Tuesday Trail Run and Picnic in Washington Park + Popsicles!

Distance: 5.8 mile run
Gain: 950 feet
Start: Japanese Garden Trailhead After: PICNIC!!! (BYO Food & Drink!)

Let's do a sweet trail run and finish with a picnic near the Rose Garden and enjoy the evening and each other's company. Bring something to eat and drink for yourself (post-run), and if you want to bring something you'd like to share, even better!

Don't forget to either pay for parking, or find a free parking spot before you start! Use the Parking Kitty app for convenience.

This loop starts at the Rose Garden, going up the Mac Trail, to Wildwood. Take Wildwood to the Zoo area, and connect to the White Pine Trail. Continue on White Pine to Wildwood and on to the Barbara Walker Crossing over Burnside, then return on Wildwood all the way back to the Mac trail. Follow that back to the Rose Garden, where a picnic awaits you! Popsicles and water will be provided at the end!
