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: Eileen Hamling, Janna Barrick, GeKaRoNy + Relay Team, Becky Gifford, Jamie Gifford, Julie Anderson, Kelsey Anderson, Kimberly Anderson and Mark Rauscher for acting as our course sweeper.

A special thank you also goes out to Marilyn Birley on her fantastic course marking. I got a lot of comments about how well the course was marked.

Please submit your comments and suggestions to us. Let us know how we could improve. 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. It is not our intent for anyone to get hurt while running the Green River Marathon.

GREEN RIVER MARATHON-RUNNERS DIRECTIONS

Getting to the start: From Highway 167 take the Willis street exit in Kent. This is the exit North of 277th and South of 84th street. Head east to the first road which heads South. This is BEFORE the railroad crossing and next to the SHELL gas station. Go South for about one half mile mile. Road will curve to East and come to a gravel parking lot next to railroad tracks.

THE 2010 COURSE WILL START OUT HEADING SOUTH FOR ABOUT TWO MILES BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND BEING BACK AT THE START AROUND MILE FOUR. RUNNERS WILL CONTINUE NORTH FOR ABOUT SEVEN MILES BRINGING THEM INTO FORT DENT. THE COURSE WILL BE MARKED EXTREMELY WELL ALL THE WAY TO THE FINISH AND WILL HAVE AID PERSONAL AT ANY QUESTIONABLE SPOT ALONG THE WAY AND INTO FORT DENT. AT HALF WAY - THE RUNNERS DIRECTIONS BELOW ARE STILL VALID

The course: The following is a description to our recommended aid stations/relay points. Note that some teams won't use these as relay points. We plan our aid station support around these stations. All runners and relay teams will meet at the start for a group picture. THE RACE STARTS AT 8:30 SHARP. THERE WILL BE AN OFFICIAL EARLY START AT 7:30 AGAIN THIS YEAR. The course will follow a bicycle path to Russell Road Park. The intersection of Meeker Road and this bike path is the first relay point option. Mile Station 2.5

Runners continue on bike path along golf course. The path will end and the runners will continue on an isolated road briefly until it rejoins the bike path. When the path runs out again the runners will be on a road heading North to relay point two. At mile 4.5 there will be an obvious Green River trail sign. Go under bridge to your left. Rejoin road by river. Head to aid station 0.6 miles ahead. River on left side. Mile station 5.0

This is an important mile mark to note since you stay on the road and do not take the longer bike path loop. Aid station volunteers will be there to help direct. Runners continue to 212th street where they run under 212th and continue on the trail. At 7.7 miles the path will split. Stay to the right on the shorter trail through this park. Again aid station volunteers will be there. Runners continue on bike path to relay point three. Mile station 8.0

At this point you will be at the West end of 190th street. Runners continue on path until they get to a pedestrian foot bridge. Cross the foot bridge to the West side of the river. DO NOT RUN PAST IT. Once over the bridge turn right. There are very good signs here. Just follow the River Trail signs. The other sign says that the trail ends in 1/4 mile. The path will lead you South before heading back North again. Runners continue to relay point four which is on the North side of Strander. There is a bathroom and park here. Mile station 10.2

Runners continue North on path. The bike path will bring you under Hwy 405. Look for and follow the signs painted on the ground for GRM or UWR. The path splits. Stay to right and along the river going under another over pass. The bike path splits again at the top, STAY LEFT and the path will run out onto a road. Turn right at the road. (NOTE: IF you head to signs saying Interurban trail straight and River trail Left you went too far.) Cross the street and take the sidewalk East to the entrance of Fort Dent Park. Runners take the bridge into the park. (Do not take the path heading east before the bridge.) Once over the bridge continue on the sidewalk towards the baseball fields, past the large building and curving left. Just past the ballpark entrance, the bike path continues around and to the left of the ball fields, and back along the river. Runners continue on bike path to relay point 5. Mile station 12.9

This aid station is in the Prosser Piano and Organ parking lot. Runners continue on bike path to I-5. Just before the entrance to I-5 the path heads to the right. Runners continue on bike path past the Boeing Credit Union. The path will end but there will be a sidewalk. The path will continue shortly and will run under West Marginal Road in another two miles. It will loop onto a bridge heading North. After crossing the bridge, turn left onto the bike path, staying along the river. This bike path will take you over a pedestrian bridge. Continue over the bridge which turns back into the bike path. The next relay point (6) is almost right away. There is a restroom. Mile station 15.5

Runners continue on path until it runs out. Continue North on "the access road" to 14th Avenue Bridge. Runners continue to the right (East) to the first stop light, Henderson Street. Turn left. Runners will go up a short steep hill and then go down hill. You will see a pedestrian bridge (DO NOT TAKE THE BRIDGE). Stay to the left and GO UNDER THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE on the bike path. The path will end shortly. Stay to the left. Continue on road (8th Avenue). Run straight through the next light. Follow all 'Arterial Turns' road signs. These are the main roads. Signs will say Arterial Turns, left (on Kenyon), right (on 5th), left (on Holdon), and then turn right at stoplight. This is relay point 7. Mile station 19.0

You will be near the first Avenue Bridge at this point. Runners continue on bike path (Northwest) until the path heads North. Runners continue on path to relay point 8. Mile station 21.0

There is a park at this location. Runners continue on path until it runs out. Be careful as this street is usually busy and fast. You will be getting close to the West Seattle Bridge. Cross the street to the left side before the bridge. Stay left on SW Marginal Pl. which goes up a short hill (sign says Dead End), bringing you to the bike path again. The bike path splits. Stay to the right, going downwards. Runners continue heading West working their way to the North sidewalk (right side) until Harbor Avenue. The trail continues on the West side of the Chelan Cafe. I usually run straight towards the Chelan Cafe. There will be an aid station nearby at mile 22.5. Runners head North on Harbor to relay 9. Mile station 24.0

There is a bathroom here. Continue on the path, and the final leg will finish along Alki Beach. The finish is across the street from Spud's Fish and Chips.
