Evening: February Winter Conditioning Run: 6+ Miles - Discovery Park

This will be a casual, after work run to get us outside in the beginning of the week.

We will follow a clockwise loop for ~6.5 miles total distance with 800 ft elevation gain, following the Loop Trail around the bluffs, down to the water, and then back to where we started.

The pace for our run will be 10-12 min/mile. We will walk the uphill/stairs and run the flats and downhills. We will keep the group together throughout our run. There are two bathrooms along the route and we can stop if needed. If you arrive early, there are also bathrooms in the Discovery Park Visitor Center. 

Please wear trail runners and bring a headlamp(e)!

Meet at Discovery Park *East Parking Lot* (off 36th Avenue West), ready to run.  No passes required. Toilets available near the starting point at Discovery Park Visitor Center.

This run will start at 6:00 PM. 

We will meet at the parking lot outside of Discovery Park on the south-eastern corner. The google maps location can be found here. No pass is required here

Directions: From 15th Ave W, just south of the Ballard Bridge, head west on W Emerson Place. After you cross the railroad tracks, turn right onto Gilman Ave W. In a few blocks Gilman changes names and becomes W Government Way. Just beyond 36th Ave W, enter Discovery Park and turn into the second driveway on the left (the first is a one-way exit.) This leads to the East Parking Lot near the Visitor Center. For those traveling by bus, Metro Route 33 has a stop on W Government Way just east of the park.
