Redm Wtr-Directions Shuttle-Mini Nav

Offsite Parking and Shuttle

Due to the number of runners participating and the small size of the lot in the park, parking for this run will be offsite, and there will be a shuttle bus to take you to the start and back to your car after you finish.  The lot is about one mile from the start, just East of Redmond Ridge Dr. NE, on the North side of NE Marketplace Dr.  Here is a map of parking and the start, and here is a map that you can use to get driving directions to the parking area.  Even with the offsite lot, there is limited parking.  We encourage carpooling, and carpools of three or more people are welcome to park in the paved lot in the park while there is room.  There is also some street parking along NE Marketplace Drive, to the West of Redmond Ridge Dr. NE.

From Seattle or Bellevue, follow SR-520 East to the end of the freeway in Redmond.
Continue straight, as SR-520 becomes Avondale Road NE.
After a little less than one mile, make a gentle right turn onto NE Novelty Hill Rd.
Go 2.9 miles, then turn right onto Redmond Ridge Drive NE.
Take the next left onto NE Marketplace Drive, then turn left into the parking lot and park.
Board the shuttle bus for the 5-minute ride to the check-in, start, and finish area.

Parking at the start is very limited and will likely be full, so please allow time to use the offsite parking and shuttle bus, and carpool if possible.  The gravel lot near the start is reserved for equestrians and other park users.

Transit:
Redmond Watershed Preserve has no weekend bus service very nearby. However, it is possible to combine bus travel to Redmond with biking (or running) a few miles to the preserve. Those interested in exploring transit options can check Metro's Trip Planner.
