    Daniel K.

    Did the Spartan Super with a group of 7 of us and we had a blast. The property it was held on was beautiful, it was full of variety. Like rolling hills, steep inclines, rocky areas and grassy meadows. They mapped the entire course out beautifully, I think it was something like 8.5 miles with 25 or so obstacles. Check-in was a breeze and everything was clearly marked as to where you needed to line up and get registered etc. We got extremely dirty, so the mud Factor was right on par, which made us happy. If you've never done a Spartan, I recommend researching it a little bit online. Their website is also useful and full of information about getting fit for the race and what to expect on race day. One thing I do recommend in the months prior to the race, is watching for coupons to get your slot cheaper. Otherwise it can be pretty pricey. I think we bought our slots on Groupon for nearly 1/2 off.

It was like we had all been friends for years and worked together to do something incredible - complete a 24 (almost) hour endurance race that would break most ordinary men, their cars, and their spirits.

    http://www.lakesammamishhalf.com/…read more Lake Sammamish Half Marathon is probably the easiest run from Evergreen Trail Runs. I thought this would be a good experience before I try more of their runs. I thought the race event itself was well organized and all the volunteers who involved were very nice and friendly. This race started in Marymoor Park in Redmond and ended in Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah. And, there's shuttle (school buses) dropping participants back to Marymoor after the race. That's very nice. In addition, Gear check in from Marymoor and Gear check out from Lake Sammamish. I was able to change to dry t-shirt after the race. I really appreciated that! If you are looking forward to having your PR, this is a race for you. I would say this trail is all the way flat. My last 4 half-marathons I had time around 2 hours 10-15 mins but this time, I was able to make it under 2 hours. I was very happy with it. In fact, a lot of first time half-marathoners were very happy with their first one! Highly recommended if you are looking for your first half-marathon to run!!

    This is a flat and fast race! A lot of my friends have their PR on this course and I do as well…read more I have done this half twice now and would be happy to come back in the future. This was very organized and the shirts and metals were great quality (although be warned that the shirts sizes always run small for this one). The shuttles at the end that take you back to the start were very easy to use and left often. The density of runners was great, not too crowded but enough that you could pace with people. They also had some pacers running which is always much appreciated! My only negative on this run is that darn back and forth they do in the parking lot before the finish. I admit this year was much better that the 2013 course which had a painful number of repeats but when you are at mile 12 it is torturous to be looping around. I always wonder why they don't add that mileage on at the front at Marymoor instead? Still a great race and definitely worth it!

There were so many snacks...more snacks…read morethan you can imagine and jars of nutella were everywhere to add to your banana, cake or nutella sandwiches. Best. race. food. ever!! This was such a fun and well-planned event, we really enjoyed ourselves! I am always happy to see a course that isn't overcrowded and a start without long lines and sufficient port-a-potties (essential!). There were so many helpful volunteers around and so many people trying to feed you cake, much appreciated. The race shirts/medals/photo booths/signs all had lovely oatmeal artwork which alone is worth the price of admission. There were so many fun costumes and the blerches and couches along the course give you a nice chuckle. The only downside is that the course has lots or gravel which makes for some discomfort at times, but I would still do this race again for sure. One tip: purchase the parking pass, it is well worth it and you get to park right next to the start. I heart Beat the Blerch!! Thanks for a fun run!!

    My running group tries to do a "destination" race every year & we decided to make it Beat the…read moreBlerch this year. There was nine of us from AZ (one was actually from Iowa). A couple people in our group were originally from Seattle & a few were familiar with The Oatmeal (I wasn't) so it seemed like a good fit. It was so fun! Most people in our group are generally pretty competitive runners, but given the nature of this race all but one decided to run for "fun." Most of us (including me) did the half marathon along withe a couple of 10K'ers (they also do have a full marathon option). Before I get into the fun stuff I'll just point out some race logistics. The half marathon (as well as 10K) is an out and back. It's a gradual up hill along a trail, so coming back it's a gradual down hill. The setting is gorgeous (Carnation is about 45 minutes outside of Seattle) with lots of greenery. I would say the race itself is a less competitive than most big organized races like this (which totally makes sense) with people of all different abilities. The one woman in our group who did take it seriously was the 2nd overall female and in the top 20 overall (there was over 800 people who did the half). She said she's never finished so high in a race that big. Okay...now for the fun! -BURRIDONUT (sp?): I had one before the race (they were also available after). Get in line, take a flour tortilla, get a grilled donut from a local bakery (chocolate or coconut), and then your toppings. They had bacon bits, ranch, gummy bears, marshmallows, and other toppings that I can't remember. Wrap it all together and enjoy! It's a good thing I wasn't taking the race seriously because I DEFINITELY felt this rumbling in my belly as a jogged. Also, the grill they were using for the donuts was nice to stand by to keep warm. -Cake!: Yep, there's cake at the aid stations! And not just store bought grocery cake. I can't remember the name of the local bakery who provided a TON of sheet cake, but it was really delicious & moist. The bakery also provided the donuts for the burridonuts -Nutella sandwiches: Also available at aid stations. I had to have one to say I ran while eating nutella sandwich, but like the burridonut it did a number on my stomach and I only had one at the the first aid station -Blerches (and a Sasquatch!): These guys jumped out every now and then to lighten the mood and make for a fun experience. The location for this race is nice! There's a large barn in Tolt Macdonald park where lots of goodies were available after the race. Also, the swag bags were pretty nice. In addition to a foam blerch & candy, all half marathoners get a really nice long sleeve half-zip tech running shirt w/the race logo. I'd totally do this race again!

I had to pour water on my head because of the heat. Friendly people throughout the race. 5k was a day before and marathon next one. I was expecting a little more of a celebration afterwards though. The Expo was great. Bigger than Hot Chocolate's good old years. I found many interesting things and vendors. Take your time. It took the day before in the theater or event spot in the Seahawks Stadium. There was a line before it was opened. It was worth it.

Registration was easy but looking up your bib on line was way harder with this race than with others. Need to work on that user interface. The expo was fairly large but they didn't have vendors selling Gu, which is the brand of goo I use when running. That's the first expo I've ever been to where I can't find some! Getting to the start of the race was pretty easy. From the monorail it wasn't well marked and there weren't a lot of volunteers around directing people but by following the crowd I was able to get to my corral. Start was well organized and smooth. Once the race started, it was okay. The course is narrow in some places, only one car lane wide and that caused some bottlenecks. Additionally, some of the water stations didn't have any water or volunteers left by the time I got there (I was running slower than normal). There was not much crowd support along the course and the hills were obscene! Oh my gosh, that one short, steep hill at mile 9.5 almost killed my friend. Also, I ran the half and counted only four musical acts, one of which was a DJ. Most Rock N Roll races do better with the music. Finish line was fairly well managed, but again, not much signage or direction to family reunion area. Race day was beautiful so I can't complain too much. Other races are better organized and have more course support (and fewer hills) but I am not holding that against the Seattle race. Overall, it was pretty fun.

The course has been the same each year, taking runners down Fourth Ave and then back to the Seattle Center. A family friendly fun run, The Color Run attracts participants of all ages - my favorite is actually seeing all the families out and about on the course. :) The premise of the run is simple. As participants are going through the course, they'll pass through different color stations where they are covered with either paint powder or foam/liquid. Be sure to bring a pair of sunglasses or you WILL get powder in your eyes! While we've generally had a positive time at the Color Run, my friends and I have noticed that quality has slowly started slipping. :( There weren't any (or maybe fewer?) event photographers, booths, etc. this year. The clincher was the "Self-Apply" paint station this year - I mean, really, Color Run? Fun, festive and silly, I would say that the Color Run is a great 5K though if you're just starting out or looking for a low-pressure event. Feel like you didn't get enough paint along the course? Definitely stick around for the after-run party where they pass around packets of colored powder. Happy running! :)

    This event is definitely not worth the money. The quality has gone way downhill over the years…read more There were only two coloring stations for the entire run and the delay was 50 minutes inside the corral. The post run party was also a disappointment. I would definitely not run again next year.
