Wednesday Night Run @ the Trailhead!

Join us at the Wednesday Night Run @ the Trailhead! Each week, we follow one of our scenic (and usually hilly) 4-mile routes. To see where we're running this week, see our route map & schedule here.

We run year-round, in rain or shine, and despite what you see in the RSVP list, we've been averaging ~80 runners a week. First-timers are always welcome, as are any out-of-town visitors looking for a fun group of runners! We try to make sure that everyone arrives safely back to port: many of us know all of the routes, we offer laminated mini route maps, we regroup at a photo stop about halfway, and we usually have sweepers running near the back. In the darker months, be sure to bring your lights & reflective gear!

Pace-wise, our string of runners typically ranges from 7:30 to 10:30 minutes per mile, but we oftentimes have runners outside that range. If you're looking for something a little shorter or longer, or something stroller-friendly, just ask us for some shortcut, add-on, or detour suggestions. On-leash dogs are also welcome. Questions? Just ask! We want your first Wednesday Night Run to be a success!

We start meeting up at 5:20pm at the Brooks Trailhead store at 3400 Stone Way in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood (depending on the weather, we may be inside the store). At 5:35pm, we have introductions, describe the route, and take off. We finish back at the store.

Afterward, most of us head across the street to Fremont Brewing, where we hang out and socialize (it's kid and dog friendly). They have tasty craft beer and cider on tap, as well as some non-alcoholic choices (they have very limited food options, however). They have indoor and covered outdoor seating (heaters when it's cold, misters when it's hot).

If you can't make the 5:30pm run (timing, rest day, injury, whatever), you are definitely welcome to meet us at the brewery. We're usually there by 6:30pm; just look for the runners!

If you need to use the restroom or lockers to store your stuff during the run, the Brooks Trailhead store has both inside. Keep in mind that the store closes at 7pm.

The Wednesday Night Run is also on Strava! Connect with us there, too!
