The final run in the three-run Ravenna Weeknight Series took place the day after Summer Solstice on a slightly warm and humid evening, by Seattle standards.
Thanks to the volunteers and staff for their vital work. Special thanks to the friendly staff at the UW Medicine Ravenna Clinic for joining us for the run and providing water bottles for the runners. Thanks also to The Balanced Athlete and PowerBar for providing PowerBar energy foods to fuel and refuel the runners and to our neighbors Garlic Jim's in Ravenna for the tasty post-run pizza!
The 8k proved the most popular distance again, and Cameron Butler set a new 8k course record mark by over two minutes, while Natty Plunkett fell just nine seconds short of the women's record while besting her own time from the year before.
The next Northwest Trail Runs event is the Start of Summer Run on July 1 at fantastic Rattlesnake Ridge in North Bend, with 5 Mile, Half Marathon, and 50k distance options. This is the fourth race in the best-3-of-5 Half Marathon Trail Series. You can register online or see who else is running.
Thanks to Louise Lakier Photography for taking photos.
