Wednesday Night Run @ Black Diamond
About the event
***THIS WEEK ONLY*** We will be meeting at the Black Diamond store, which is one block north of where we usually meet.
Join us at the Wednesday Night Run! Each week, we follow one of our scenic (and usually hilly) 4-mile routes.

We run year-round, in rain or shine, and despite what you see in the RSVP list, we've been averaging \~75 runners a week. First-timers are always welcome, as are any out-of-town visitors looking for a fun group of runners!
We try to make sure that everyone arrives safely back to port: many of us know all of the routes, we offer laminated mini route maps & GPX files, most routes have a photo stop about halfway, and we usually have sweepers running near the back. In the darker months, be sure to bring your lights & reflective gear!
Pace-wise, our string of runners typically ranges from 7:30 to 10:30 minutes per mile, but we oftentimes have runners outside that range. If you're looking for something a little shorter or longer, or something stroller-friendly, just ask us for some shortcut, add-on, or detour suggestions. On-leash dogs are also welcome. Questions? Just ask! We want your first Wednesday Night Run to be a success!
We start meeting up at 5:20pm (this week at Black Diamond at 3524 Stone Way in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. At 5:35pm, we have introductions, describe the route, and take off.
Afterward, most of us head across the street to Fremont Brewing, where we hang out and socialize (it's kid and dog friendly). They have tasty craft beer and cider on tap, as well as some non-alcoholic choices. They have indoor and covered outdoor seating (heaters when it's cold, cool mist when it's hot). Food-wise, Fremont provides free pretzels and apples, Mammoth sandwiches are available for purchase, and Smash That Burger has a food truck onsite. You can also bring in our own food.
If you can't make the 5:30pm run (timing, rest day, injury, whatever), you are definitely welcome to meet us at the brewery. We're usually there by 6:30pm; just look for the runners!
The Black Diamond store has restrooms and a place to store your stuff during the run. Keep in mind that the store closes at 7pm.
