First of the Year Run at Green Lake for Richmond Beach Running Club

8:00 for two laps
8:30 for one lap
9:00 taking the plunge!

For the last several years the RBRC has been meeting at the Evans Pool parking lot for a run around Green Lake, then taking an optional "plunge" in the lake to start off the year.

This is a fun event, maybe a little early for those having too much fun on New Years Eve!

There is no pressure to jump in. For those wishing to get in two laps around the lake, meet at the Evans Pool parking lot, 7201 E Green Lake Dr. N, Seattle 98115.

Be ready to run at 8:00am. Take a lap and meet back in the same spot at 8:30am to meet up for those wishing for either less distance or just a later start. The distance around the lake is 2.8 miles.

At 9:00am gather on the dock for "leg recovery" ice bath! This may be the warmest air and water temperature at Green Lake in years! After quickly drying off we will all head over to Starbucks for a nice hot beverage.
