Directions - click here

This route will cover Green Lake and Ravenna Park.

We will follow a clockwise loop for ~6 7/8 miles total distance with 92 ft elevation gain, through around Green Lake and Ravenna Park. We will look to do an avg pace of 4 mph: moderate to fast (depending on group comfort) hike uphill and 4.5-5.0 mph straighaway and downhill. Goal is for everyone to run at a conversational pace, which means you can talk in complete sentence without gasping for air, can easily breath through your nose, and have an average heart rate typically less than 140 (75% of max heart rate).  Shouldn't be huffing and puffing.

For a complete description of  trail running with the Mountaineers, please consult the Trail Running Standards.
