2025 Woodland Park Zoom

06/10/2025

5k & 10k

Tuesday, June 10, 2025

6:30pm Start

Woodland Park, Seattle WA

The Woodland Park Zoom course is a novel departure in character from many of our other events. The course has a savanna-like feel, touring the many open and lightly-wooded areas of the park, as well as looping the sports fields and traversing the trails through the more deeply-wooded ravines. The profile varies from flat, to gently-rolling, to short and steep climbs and drops.

Course Description

Woodland Park has a more savanna-like feel than many of the densely-forested parks in the Puget Sound area. Much of the route goes through grassy areas or sparse forest with little or no ground vegetation. This will feel more like a cross country course than a typical trail run.

The route starts out with a short loop on the grass to the south before returning near the start/finish and then going to the north end of the park over the camel humps (hills along Aurora Ave.) After a turn around the lawn bowling greens and horseshoe pits, the course makes a roller-coaster like crossing of a ravine, followed by a gradual climb and a swing around a stand of trees to head back across the small park road and back up the north-most of the camel humps. Next the route descends and then turns left from south to north into the more heavily wooded area on wide trails that end up near the off-leash area and lower tennis courts, before heading back south on some smaller trails. The trails widen and reach the south boundary of the park, where the route turns downhill for a gently-sloping loop around some of the soccer and baseball fields. A left turn takes the course through the paved area between the baseball fields, and another left turns the route toward the paved soapbox derby hill and past the bike jumps.

Almost to the top of the soapbox derby hill comes a right turn onto a small trail through the strip of trees that will lead to a perpendicular crossing of an earlier part of the course. Signs will alert runners to use caution when approaching this crossing from either direction. The course goes through the grass, sometimes along trails, for a loop around the upper tennis courts, then it follows the perimeter of the picnic road loop on a mix of smaller and larger trails before bending right for a small downhill and uphill. A final small downhill is followed by a gradual climb to a flatter small trail that reaches the finish.

The route described above is a 5k loop. The 10k is two of those loops.

An aid station will be located near the start/finish point, so that 10k runners can replenish between loops.

Directions & Parking

There is a gravel lot near the corner of Whitman Ave N and N 50th St for parking.

Here is a link for directions to the venue. The start and finish are just north of the gravel lot.

IMPORTANT
Weekday evening traffic can often be very busy in the Seattle metropolitan area and the beautiful parks we host the Tuesday Night Trail to Grill Series at can get very busy, particularly on sunny days. As such, we recommend you allow yourself extra time for travel and finding parking on race evening.

Hot Dogs, Watermelon & More!

Make sure to stick around after your race for hot dogs, veggie dogs, watermelon, and other yummy snacks. We will present awards for the top 3 Female and Open category finishers in each distance, and we’ll raffle off fun prizes, so you might win something just by showing up!

Safety, Etiquette & Dogs

GENERAL SAFETY
The trails will be open to other users during the event, including pedestrians with pets, and cyclists. Participants are responsible for their own safety while participating, and the organizers are neither qualified nor equipped to render medical care in the event of a serious injury. In case of an emergency, call 9-1-1. You are encouraged to bring a cell phone with you as a safety precaution, if you wish.

PASSING ETIQUETTE
Where the trails are narrow, please let other participants pass you if they want to get by. It is a passing runner’s job to tell the person in front that they wish to pass.

HEADPHONES
If you’d like to listen to music while you’re on the course, please use headphones or earbuds, so that runners around you can’t hear it. Others may prefer a quieter event experience or may have different musical tastes. Runners playing music in the open air may be asked to leave the event.

Also, keep the volume low enough that you can hear someone talking to you in a normal voice, for example, another runner saying they would like to pass on your left.

DOGS
Our events are USATF sanctioned and subject to USATF policies, and so dogs are not allowed to accompany runners on the course.
