Meet at 5:30PM in Robinswood Park (north parking lot off SE 22nd Street) in Bellevue. Following introductions, description of route and current trail conditions, plan to start running by 5:40PM. No passes required. Bathroom available at trailhead.
We will follow an out-and-back for ~5 1/2 miles total distance with 796 ft elevation gain, through Robinswood Park, Bellevue Airfield Park, and Weowna Park. There will be some road running in between parks. We will look to do an average pace of 4 mph: moderate to fast (depending on group comfort) hike uphill and 4.5-5.0 mph straightaway and downhill. Please bring a headlamp, since we will be starting in the dark!
