Current Course Conditions
We wanted to share a quick update on course conditions for tomorrow’s Snoqualmie Valley St. Patrick’s Day Fun Run.
Thanks to a little unexpected March weather, snow is currently covering most of the course, with several areas having a few inches of accumulation. At this time, we are planning to keep the original course, but we encourage everyone to take the course at a comfortable pace and enjoy the adventure.
Please note that due to the snow conditions, the course is currently not stroller friendly.
Parking spots in the lot currently have slush and snow, so please allow extra time and use caution when arriving.
The Kids Dash will take place in an area of the course that is currently clear of snow, and we will check conditions again tomorrow morning to ensure it is safe for our youngest runners.
This year’s run may turn into a true Pacific Northwest St. Patrick’s Day snow run, and we’re excited to still gather as a community in support of the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank.
A few quick notes:
• Please be prepared for snowy and wet conditions
• Waterproof or trail shoes are recommended
Most importantly, this event is about coming together as a community, having fun, and supporting a great local cause.
For those who will not be able to attend tomorrow, T-shirt, medal, and bib pickup will be available at Snoqualmie Running from 3:00 PM–5:00 PM on Sunday, March 22nd.
Please note: T-shirts were guaranteed for adults who registered before March 1st, and medals were guaranteed for youth participants (ages 6–17) who registered before March 1st.
We look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow morning!
Every Adult that registers by March 1st recieves the official Snoqualmie Valley St. Patricks Day Fun Run T-shirt.
