Description

Northern State Recreation Area is the Crown Jewel of Skagit County Parks and offers some of the most scenic running in Skagit County.  Currently Northern State is home to the Skagit County High School Cross Country Championships  as well as the Glow Run 5K Fun Run.  Now is the time to not only cross the bridge into the old Northern State Hospital grounds (Swift Center) but venture into the upper reaches of the park that will include Skagit Trail Builders 1st volunteer built trail, the Pumphouse Trail.

The Northern State Winter Runs are 3 races in one.  Two 5Ks and a 10K starting at the same time and having the same finish line.  All routes are run on gravel or grassy farm roads as well as gravel trails with some areas of concrete roads for 2 of the runs.  The Bestie 10K and TSwift 5K will follow the same route and merge with the Pumphouse 5K at the 2.25 mile mark.  At about 2.75 mile mark the Bestie 10K runners will take a right at a Y to finish their route while the two 5K's will run to the finish.

The race will include Team Competitions, at no cost, as well as a Sasquatch search for prizes!

This is an event for runners AND walkers as well.  No doggies though and strollers (only on TSwift 5K route) would be for walkers only.
