All-ages, glow in the dark, 5k (walk or run) through the historic Snoqualmie tunnel. Afraid of the dark? Have no fear, the tunnel will be partially lit with LED lights, plus everyone will be outfitted with glow gear. Following the race head to Dru Bru for an outdoor, all-ages, block party. We’ll have food, games and of course beer, cider and soda!
Please note, we order the race shirts in advance therefore sign-ups after July 3rd, 2022 will not receive a race T-Shirt, but the registration price has been reduced.
GLOW GEAR PACKAGE INCLUDES:
1 Race T-Shirt
Glow Gear (bracelet/necklace)
Additional glow gear is also highly encouraged, the brighter the better! We also suggest a personal flashlight or headlamp. You will pick up your race T-Shirt and Glow Gear the day of the event.
Sign-In / Gear Pick-Up from 9:30am-10:30am
Race starts at 10:45am
THE RACE:
The race is a loop. You will start and end at the Palouse to Cascades State Park - Hyak Trailhead parking lot (formally the Iron Horse State Park Trail). The course is pretty flat. You will start ~.5 mile outside the tunnel, run approximately one mile in, turn around, and run one mile out, back to the start. LED lights will help illuminate the tunnel and race course.
Additional Tunnel details and directions can be found here: Palouse to Cascades Trail - The Tunnel
Using Google Maps search for "Hyak Parking Lot, Snoqualmie Pass, WA 98068." Traveling East or West on I-90 you will take exit 54.
PARKING:
We have secured two parking lots. There is parking available at the Hyak Trailhead lot. All vehicles entering the state park must have a Discover Pass. These are sold onsite (and can be purchased the day of) or online (http://www.discoverpass.wa.gov/). Overflow parking is also available at the Summit East Lower Lot, which is a 5min walk to the event.
TUNNEL CONDITIONS:
Be prepared for extreme darkness and cold temperatures. For this event LED lights will help illuminate the path. The tunnel is chilly, the average temperature (year-round) is ~50 degrees, so we encourage you to wear a long sleeve shirt or light jacket. The ground is made of compacted gravel.
BIKES:
To ensure the safety of our runners/ walkers this a bike-free event. Strollers are allowed. Since it's a public park we are required to keep the tunnel open to the public therefore bikes may be present but will not be officially part of the event.
KIDS:
This is a kid-friendly event. Children 4 and under are free (and did not need to register), but also do not receive a Glow Gear Package.
DOGS:
Animals are not allowed due to the number of participants and event conditions.
