REMINDER: Our friends at the annual Cove to Clover Fundraiser Event (we’re a Sponsor) tell us that NOW would be the best time to register for the race, because if you don’t you won’t be guaranteed a cool race day t-shirt!
Orders for t-shirts will be made this Friday, Feb. 24, so be sure to register online before then by clicking here.
This year’s shirts are especially designed for runners – they’re “Tech Shirts” – which breathe better than other shirts.

Here are details of the event:
5K / 10K (Run or Walk) — Beat the Snake Sunday, March 11th 5K Start: 1 pm; 10K Starts: 12:30 pm? (“The Cove” to Burien Town Square)? This is like no other 5K / 10K you have run. It is hard; suffering is the name of the game as you climb nearly 800 ft up the ominously named “Snake Hill”. Indeed, it is brutal but at the top of the hill runners are rewarded with the ethereal music of a Highland piper and beautiful views of Puget Sound.
Wee (Family) Race – (Run or Walk) Sunday March 11th at 1:40 pm? (St. Francis to Burien Town Square)? Other than overcoming “The Uprising”, this is a great flat course for younger or rookie runners.
