The course

The 12K has 2 aid stations that will each be passed twice, the 8K has one aid station that will be passed twice. The 5K does not have an aid station. Aid stations are stocked with GU gels and Tailwind Electrolytes.
CUPLESS RACING
Orca Running is committed to reducing waste and protecting the environment. As part of this commitment, we are making all events cupless. The tiny little cups that are used for an instant generate tremendous amounts of garbage. We recommend you purchase a handheld bottle, a hydration pack, or we can provide you with a small re-useable cup that folds easily into your waistband to use during the entire race and future races.
PARKING
First off, don’t forget to carpool! There is a large parking garage located at 8711 160th Ave NE, Redmond, 98052. There is no parking at Redmond City Hall or Library. However there are plenty of other options for parking in downtown Redmond all within a 5-10 minute walk.
Awards
Overall awards will be given to the top 3 male, female, and non-binary runners based off of gun time not chip time. So, you should start in the front of the pack for your distance. We also give out age group awards in 5 year increments, so be sure to check your results at the Orca Running tent. We DO NOT MAIL OUT AWARDS after the race, they must be picked up at the race.
charity
Each and every Orca Running race supports a charity. We will be donating a small portion of every entry fee to Woodinville Firefighters Benevolent Fund.
Policies
We have a clear set of policies that we uniformly follow for all races. Entries are not refundable, but you can defer your entry, transfer it to another race, or transfer it to another participant. You can review our full set of policies here.
Postdoc Brewery in Redmond is donating all of the delicious brews for the Beer Garden! Each beer is $6 and 100% of money collected goes directly to the Woodinville Firefighters Benevolent Fund.

- Opt to have your race bib mailed to you. This costs $3.25 and can be selected during the registration process.
