Runners Club - BLUE ROUTE Released!

11/8/2020 12:00 pm

11/9/2020 EDITED TO ADD: Clyde Hill is hilly (no surprises there!!). You should reserve ample time to complete this route, and be prepared to take breaks. There are two long hills up 16th/17th St and 14th St, plus two short hills to reach markers (#4) and (#7). More suggestions:

• Treat this route as a hike- slow and steady to the top, and then ENJOY THE VIEW!
• Wear good shoes 
• Bring water
• DO NOT RUN DOWN THE HILLS!! It is safer, better exercise, and better for your joints/muscles if you run UP the hills and walk down the hills for recovery.
• If your child needs to complete this route in two separate attempts, THAT IS FINE!!

Runners Club is releasing the BLUE ROUTE, which takes us through the southwest portion of Clyde Hill. The route will stay open through Thanksgiving weekend for those who need a post-turkey walk! When you complete the BLUE ROUTE, submit your answers here:

Looking ahead ... We will also release the PURPLE ROUTE before Thanksgiving, so you have more options for Thanksgiving break!
