Washington > Cougar Mountain Trail Running Series Half
Marathon
Bellevue, WA
Date
Saturday, August 9, 2008
Event
Details
Part of a summer-long series of running events designed to raise funds
for the Bellevue area's Kings County Parks system, the Vasque Cougar
Mountain Trail Running Series consists of a 5-mile, 7.5-mile, 10-mile
and 13-mile races, with one event per month starting in May and winding
up in August. The half marathon portion of the series takes place in
August, starting at the Sky Country Trailhead in the Cougar Mountain
Regional Wildland Park, located just to the south of Bellevue.
The course for the half is a loop course through 13 miles of the park,
with numerous hills and sometimes steep changes in elevation, along
with challenging terrain. Runners are urged to remain on the designated
trails throughout the entire race, as the historical mining areas
scattered throughout the park can present safety hazards if you stray
off the trails.
