- There will be safety marshals on the course, but key directions affecting safety are noted here:
- Children under 10 should not participate unattended.
- Between SE 96th St and the Front St. sidewalk runners will be directed to a dirt path next to the roadway and follow it for about 50 feet. Stay well off the paved surface to avoid both bikes and wayward cars, watch your footing, and don’t dawdle.
- Runners on the Front St. sidewalk cross SE Lewis St. twice, outbound and returning. This intersection is a few hundred yards north of SE 96th St. and about 0.6 miles from the start/finish. It is lightly traveled but look both ways and proceed with caution.
- Runners on the Rainier Trail cross SE Evans St. twice, outbound and returning. The aid station is at this trail intersection. SE Evans is lightly traveled but look both ways and proceed cautiously entering and leaving the aid station.

Follow the 5k route to the aid station where 5k runners turn around. Pass through the aid station and continue down the Rainier Trail to its very end. Begin a steep climb to your right ascending to the Tradition Lake Plateau through switchbacks. Top out at a trail gate. Do not go through gate, but bear right into the woods onto single-track trail. Proceed about a 1/4 mile to large wooden signboard. Turn to the left just before the sign and head up a slight incline. Proceed about 7/10 miles along rolling ridgeline trail to a another wooden trail gate which is the 10k turnaround; the trail descends as you approach the turnaround. Any ambiguous and all wooded sections from the switchback ascent out to the 10k turnaround gate will be flagged. Retrace your route to the aid station and from thence to the finish back at the church. Link to leg-by-leg tabular description of 10k course.
