TER is a great way to add a fun, yet challenging, evening run into your running routine. Plus, we almost always get pizza afterwards! Come out weekly and you'll have a new running buddy or 3 to help push you through your training plans.

We offer three different routes to choose from:

3 miles: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4901942017
5 miles: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4901909737
7 miles: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4901935420

Starting at Zeek’s, we all head down to Ravenna Park via Ravenna Bvld. The three milers head north along Brooklyn Ave to 65th St. and turn left back towards Ravenna. Five and seven milers head through the center of the park, then loop back north on 58th to 20th. We cross the bridge over the park and head to 65th, where we turn left and rejoin the 3 mile route. Once we all get back to Ravenna, we backtrack to the lake and head north back to Zeeks, or take the long way around the outer loop to make it (almost) 7 miles.

Grab some friends and split a medium (3 people) or large (4 people) pizza and join us for some good conversation.

Hope to see you this Tuesday!

 
 
 

We're re-starting WUW after a long pandemic hiatus and we're looking forward to meeting you!

Come meet us in front of Starbucks at Green Lake on Wednesday mornings at 5:30 am for a casual run around the lake or perhaps jump in for a tempo run. There are plenty of options as far as pace and number of laps that our group runs. great turnouts are what make Wednesday mornings so fun :)

For all the first time runners: check out our FB page after RSVP-ing. You can easily find someone to connect with there for future runs! Our WUW turnout is much larger than the RSVP list. Hope to see you there.

Option #1- run around the lake- once, twice, or more if you really feel like it.

Option #2- run the 6-mile off-lake route. The route tends to vary week to week, but gets mapped out and posted on this page by Tuesday afternoons (and gets posted on Tuesdays on our FB page).

Option #3- run a tempo run (either around the lake, during the 6-miler off-lake, or the seasonal Hanson's marathon training tempo routes).

We recommend all runners either be 2 weeks past their final vaccine shot or wear a mask and practice physical distancing when interacting with others. Please be considerate of your fellow runners' personal comfort level and also check out https://safety.rungreenlake.com for additional safety protocol information.

 
 
 

Happy Global Running Day! There's a little bit extra going on tonight!

We're the Seattle Green Lake Running Group (SGLRG), and each week, we host the Wednesday Night Run at 5:30pm. We start from the Brooks Trailhead, run about 4 miles, then usually finish up at Fremont Brewing. For Global Running Day, we're inviting everyone to join us along our flat route to the Ballard Bridge and back!

This week only, the Brooks Trailhead store will also be welcoming the Seattle Running Collective for an evening focused on inclusivity and accessibility!

5:30pm Our regular SGLRG Wednesday Night Run! Meet us outside the Brooks Trailhead store at 3400 Stone Way in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. At 5:35pm, we'll have introductions, describe the route, and take off. Afterward, we're invited to stay at Brooks for the "Meet Your Local Running Group" portion of the evening.

6:00-8:00pm The Brooks Trailhead will be hosting the Seattle Running Collective for an evening focused on inclusivity and accessibility. This event is free, but please RSVP with Brooks here, so they can plan food & drink numbers.

Thursday Evening Casual Run is a social run welcoming runners of all levels. We meet at Green Lake across from the Starbucks (see the routes) at 6:30, run to Green Lake, and turn left. After the run, we eat! During the warmer months we disperse to grab takeout (PCC, Local Bigger Burger, Zeeks, and Frelard Tamales are all good options nearby!) and meet back at the lake to eat together. Bring a blanket/towel!

There are 3, 4, and 5 mile routes with runners at a variety of paces. We generally stick to the outer loop on Green Lake which is a little more runner-friendly, but recommend the inner loop for the section along Aurora due to heavy traffic. Don't hesitate to ask for a regular to run with you if you want help following the route.
