Comments:

Green River Race Directors: Steve Barrick and Jim Anderson

The following did an outstanding job and really deserve the highest praise. These people make the Green River what it is today.

A special thanks to support volunteers: Ed Hong, Andy Larpentuer, Eileen Hamling & Julie Anderson.

Please submit your comments and suggestions to me. Let us know how we could improve.

Due to limited support volunteers, next year we may provide gatorade and cups to each team support vehicle at the beginning of the race (with prior request).

We are working on the possibility of certifying this course and adding markers at each mile. Suggestions would be appreciated for the more complicated areas near Fort Dent and the West Seattle Bridge.

[1] This sketchy runner was not witnessed in the starting line photo, but was rumored to be participating. A person looking like this runner was observed in a vehicle traveling along the course that morning. Several bus routes also follow the course but this "questionable character" is difficult to differentiate from the average homeless bus rider. He also passed the leading solo runner at mile 20, but mysteriously disappeared. "He looked unusually fresh and free of sweat, but still disoriented and running from side to side," said the eventual winner. He remained humorous even in his failed attempt at victory. His status (mental) has been reviewed by race officials: Bob is suspended from future races pending Race Committee decision regarding the reported usage of Indian fishing boats during the race.

Remember the Green River is held the first Saturday in June every year.

Green River Marathon and all volunteers are not responsible for any injuries or deaths. The Green River Marathon is a free run; the aid is free, the run is free, the shirts are sold at a loss, there are no bib numbers, there are no awards, and no one is paid. This is a low key run amongst friends. If you require special assistance or are unsure of your abilities please think twice about running 26.2 miles, unless you take necessary precautions. You must have medical clearance from your doctor before you begin any exercise program or running in any marathons.

SATURDAY JUNE 5, 2010 8:30 AM   ---FOURTEENTH ANNUAL GREEN RIVER MARATHON---

OFFICIAL EARLY START 7:30 AM   ---(RUNNERS NEEDING MORE THAN 5 HOURS +/-)---

The Green River Marathon is a Marathon/Relay/Fun Run put on for FREE! That's right, no cost at all. It is put on entirely by an all volunteer crew and donations by the event's originators and organizers. Even the T-shirts are sold only at their cost.

A fun Seattle-area run in early June (first Saturday) is the Green River Marathon/Relay. This year will be the 14th annual event. Marathon Maniac, Eastside Runners and Interurban Running Club member Steve Barrick and Marathon Maniac Jim Anderson put on this run with the help of many volunteers. It begins at the intersection of the Green River trail and the Interurban trail in South Kent.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FIRST 11 MILES OF THE COURSE FOR 2010 HAS BEEN MODIFIED DUE TO SAND BAGS ON THE COURSE - THE LAST 15 ARE THE SAME AS PREVIOUS YEARS. GREEN RIVER WILL NOT BE A BOSTON QUALIFIER FOR 2010.

The course will stay on the Inter Urban Trail to and through Fort Dent for 2010. Previously (see links for updates) followed the scenic Green/Duwamish trails past Russell Road Park, Christianson Greenbelt Park, and Fort Dent Park as the river winded it's way to Puget Sound and Alki beach. The course will run through Fort Dent. The run is very flat with two short hills late in the run. The last few miles have views of Seattle and Puget Sound towards the Olympics. The finish is in front of Spud's Fish and Chips at Alki.

If you don't want to run the entire 26.2 miles, then get together some friends and make it a relay with any number of participants. Everyone is encouraged to participate by running as far as they like. In past years we have had runners running as little as 2.5 miles and as much as 22.5 miles. There are no formal rules or divisions, the run is just for fun and to stay in shape. About 30% of the participants are on relays. They help cheer the others along and pass out water, gatorade and GU (?) which is provided free. Many of the parks have restrooms along the way. Support is limited, so those with special nutritional and fluid needs are encouraged to make their own arrangements.

This is a low key run amongst friends with no entry fee. A commemorative T-shirt (long sleeve) - high quality wicking material - will be available for $15 with advance notice. There are no awards, but most of the runners treat themselves to a lunch at Spuds at the finish. Very limited return transportation will be provided to those that request it in advance. Runners are encouraged to meet at the finish at 7:00 AM to car pool back to the start. Runners can also choose to meet at the start and hope for a ride back.

For more details on this run and relay along with return transportation options see email links below. If you are planning on running in the Green River Marathon please let the Race Director Barrick know by email. The race is free but we need to know how many people will need return transportation and how many supplies to purchase for the aid stations. Solo marathon runners need to email: First and last name, City and State, DOB, age on June 5th 2010, sex, best marathon time, predicted marathon time and T-shirt size if ordering one or n/a if not, while relay teams need to email their team name and participant names, this is mainly for the race results page. NOTE – Shirt sizes run S - XL for women and S – XXL for men. Please specify if you want a women’s cut shirt.

The Green River Marathon is now a USA Track and Field Sanctioned Event Certified Course for both a half marathon (first half or last half) and for the full marathon. The certification numbers are as follows: for the first half marathon WA09022MW, for the second half marathon WA09023MW, and for the full marathon WA09024MW. That's right, you can now use the Green River Marathon as a qualifier for entry into the Boston Marathon.
