OTHER THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
SITE MAP
A printable version of the above SITE MAP for your convenience.
WEATHER & WHAT TO BRING
The event will take place, rain or shine - we are hoping for shine. Make sure to bring your sunscreen and dress in layers. The lake in early morning can be cool as the sun is rising, especially if there is wind. The walking trail is flat and paved and follows along the outside edge of Seward Park with stunning views of Mercer Island and Mount Rainier. The park is family and pet friendly so feel free to bring the kids and strollers!
CHECK-IN
Check-In will be divided up alphabetically by last name. All registered participants will receive a t-shirt at check-in. There will be a dedicated survivor line at check-in where registered survivors will check-in and receive their survivor t-shirt and white beads. Anyone not registered will need to go to registration instead of check-in.
ONSITE REGISTRATION
Online registration closes on Friday, July 15 at 7:00 PM. Anyone not registered by July 15 will need to register at the event on July 17. Registration is located right next to check-in. The cost of onsite registration is $45. We will accept cash (small bills), personal check, or Venmo.
T-SHIRTS
Each registered participant will receive the participant t-shirt (survivors will receive a teal survivor shirt). We based the t-shirt order on the size you requested during registration. Anyone who registered on or before June13 is guaranteed the size they requested when they registered. For those who registered after June 13, we will do our best to provide the size you requested.
Need a different size? For all participants, regardless of when registered, if you find you need a different size, we ask that you return to the registration tent after you finish your run/walk to see about exchanging it for a different size. We will do our best to accommodate size changes.
PATIENT & SURVIVOR PHOTO & PARADE
We will be taking an official patient and survivor photo at 8:00 AM. Listen for announcements by the DJ throughout the morning reminding patients and survivors to put on their t-shirts and head over to the photo area for this photo. Any patients and survivors who plan to walk will also lead the parade of those walking from the stage over to the start line.
PHOTO AREA
Stop by and snap a selfie or take your team photo at the photo area. The official patient and survivor photo will be taken here.
WALL OF HONOR
The Wall of Honor will be set up near the stage and will be staffed by a Rivkin Center team member and volunteers. Stop by to honor, celebrate, and remember those who inspire you to participate in this event.
PARTICIPANTS PAVILION
We will have an area with a tent and chairs set up for anyone who is not walking or running. It will serve as a place to rest and will have some light snacks and water available.
FIRST AID
Hopefully, we won't need it, but there will be a first aid tent staffed by off duty EMTs.
RESTROOMS
There aren't any restroom facilities along the trail so you will want to make sure to use the facilities before you begin. There are restrooms at the turnaround point. See the course MAP for the route, including the turnaround point.
FOOD TRUCK
Chayen Coffee food truck will be parked in the main circle drive and will be selling coffee and breakfast pastries.
