2014 Seward Solstice

12/20/2014

4.1mi & 10k

Saturday, December 20, 2014, 9:30am

Seward Park, Seattle, WA

Situated on a peninsula surrounded by Lake Washington, Seward Park provides perhaps one of the greatest contrasts in Seattle: 100+ acres of old growth forest, just minutes from the city center. The run route follows a loop that is almost entirely in the forest, so there is ample opportunity to enjoy what the Friends of Seward Park fondly call “The Magnificent Forest,” with graceful Western Red Cedar and towering Douglas Fir, along with a lush tapestry of other native plants. You may even hear a Pileated Woodpecker pecking out a nest or rooting for a meal in an old tree trunk.

Join us for a 4.2-mile or 10k trail run at Seward Solstice, the fourth event in the Winter Trail Series.

  • If you complete any of the 2014-15  season Winter Trail Series events, you are automatically entered.
  • Points will be awarded based on finish placement, and this will be done separately for both women’s and men’s finishers.
  • The 1st place woman and 1st place man in each event score 100 points, 2nd place scores 95, 3rd scores 92, 4th scores 90, 5th 89 and so on. Places 64th and lower score 30 points.
  • The series rewards those with the most points, regardless of what distances they ran.
  • In the event of a tie, each runner’s highest point score is used for the tie-breaker. If two runners have identical highest point scores, then the next highest point scores are compared until the tie is broken.
  • The top series participants receive special recognition at the final Winter Trail Series event, Frost Eagle, on February 7th, 2015.
