Meet at 4:00 pm at Evans Street gravel parking in Issaquah, just northeast of the middle school. Please note this is NOT the more common Chirico trail. Parking on street - no passes needed. Following introductions, description of route and current trail conditions, plan to start running at 4:10 pm. There are no public bathrooms at the trail head; there may be a portable toilet available as we run past the high school. Unless closed, there is an outhouse available by Poo Poo Point.

We will follow an out-and-back route for ~7 3/8 miles total distance with 1,682 ft elevation gain, starting next to Issaquah Middle School up to Poo Poo Point. We will stop at the top for a pic and a snack, then head back the way we came. We will look to do an avg pace of 3.5 mph: moderate hike uphill and 4.5-5.0 mph straighaway and downhill. Please bring headlamp since we will be finishing in the dark!
