Meet in front of the Redmond City Hall at 5:30PM.  There is plenty of free parking around the Redmond community complex. Link to Google Directions Here.   No parking pass required. Bathrooms available at the Redmond Senior and Community center.  Also a porta-potty about halfway through the run.

We will run a short distance (.6 miles) up the Sammamish river trail to the PSE trail.  From there we will run the rolling hills of the PSE trail to the Farrel McWhirter park.  We will loop the exterior of the park and then back down the PSE trail to the start. Link to Strava Route

This is primarily gravel trail, with about 1.5 miles of dirt, and 1 mile total of pavement. I usually wear road shoes for this as none of the trails are technical. 

We will run ~ 10.5 to 12.5 minutes per mile depending on overall group pacing.  We will run the pace we need to stick together and have fun.  This is a run to build endurance, not intended for speed.

Bring a headlamp as we will be in the dark
