Alki Beach Field Trip Long Run

Hi everyone,

You're probably thinking, "Didn't Claire and Madeline just host a field trip long run along a body of water?" Well, you're right. We did. It was so much fun we wanted to run it back for a beautiful run along Alki Beach! For this run, we will be starting at C & P Coffee Company and make our way down to Beach Drive for an out and back towards Alki Beach. We will end the run at the coffee shop for a post run coffee treat!

Features of this route:

• Scenic views of Puget Sound (orcas???)
• Flat out and back pedestrian path along the water

Logistics

• Parking: Street Parking near the coffee shop
• Start time: 8:00 AM
• Route: Starting at the coffee shop, west towards Beach Dr for an out and back, then return to coffee shop
• Transportation: Please carpool if possible! There are also several transit options to get to the park. Check our FB group for carpooling or reach out to Claire Wendle or Madeline Westerhoff if you need a ride.
• Food: Post-run snacks and coffee! GF and vegan options will be provided.
• Drinks: Water, chocolate milk (dairy + non-dairy)
• Please RSVP to this event so we know how much food to get and how many people to expect!

What are field trip long runs?

This is a social long run that happens every 4-6 weeks, where we meet at a scenic, soft-surface location near Seattle. Post-run food and drinks provided. Mitch helped to start 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?

Long runs are better together! Enjoy the energy of running with a big group, the scenery outside of Green Lake and the Burke-Gilman Trail, soft surfaces, and doughnuts! Friends-of-CNW members welcome.
