If you have ever been to Western Washington then you know the weather is always unpredictable and there is no such thing as flat terrain. But the weather was great and the course couldn’t have had a better design for Seattle’s first Rock and Roll Marathon. With blue skies, mid 50 degree temperature, and a flat (or almost down hill) course there couldn’t have been better running in Seattle.
This could be the best half marathon course ever designed. Running along the river in Tukwila, next to Seattle’s new light rail system in the Rainier District, down to Seward park, running in the shade of the trees that line beautiful Lake Washington, marching to the beat of the band at the far end of the I-90 tunnel, and finally finishing in the Emerald City!
Excellence had a great turn out for the Seattle Rock and Roll Half marathon. For member’s our team came out, with one first time half marathon runner. Team members Kirsten Nesholm, Monica Alvarez, Jaiwen Shi, and trainer Elias Roberts all ran there best.
Way to Go!!!!
