Field trip long run - June 5th @ Cedar River Trail

Hi everyone,

Our next field trip long run will be on Sunday, June 5th on the Cedar River Trail!

What are field trip long runs?

This is a social long run that happens every 4-8 weeks, where we meet at a special, scenic, soft-surface location somewhere outside Seattle. Post-run food and drink (read further for complete list) provided. We started this event during COVID with the goal of creating opportunities to socialize with each other and experience the amazing scenery we have around Western Washington.

Why should I come?

Because long runs are better together! Enjoy the energy of running with a big group, the scenery and soft surfaces, and FREE DOUGHNUTS! Bring your friends - friends-of-CNW members welcome!

For this trip, we will be going back to our first field trip long run destination, running the Cedar River trail from the Landsburg Fish Ladder. Features include:

• Railroad-grade, soft surface, through the woods
