Urban Walk - Burke-Gilman Trail

Let's support the Dick's-A-Thon Ian Cox memorial event to raise funds for SAR, Washington National Parks Fund and Mountaineers scholarships with a half-marathon urban walk loop. The Half Dick's A Thon employs the Burke Gilman Trail and city streets to walk the 14.7 miles with vouchers for 3 Dick's menu items.
