As summer winds down and the harvest season beckons, the local community and surrounding neighborhoods are abuzz with anticipation for a significant new event on the calendar. The Redmond Harvest Half Marathon, scheduled on the Labor Day holiday, September 2, 2024 from 8:30am to 1:00pm, promises both seasoned runners and novices an exhilarating challenge. This event is not just a race but a celebration of achievement, endurance, and community spirit. It offers participants a unique opportunity to enjoy the scenic beauty of Redmond, with the start and finish line at the picturesque Marymoor Park, located at 6046 W Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE. The course’s design, a fast, flat, out-and-back route that stretches west out of Marymoor Park and heads north along the beautiful Sammamish River Trail before looping back, ensures an inviting race for all involved.
For those who have dedicated the better part of their year to training and preparing, the inaugural Redmond Harvest Half Marathon provides a perfect platform to test their mettle. This 13.1-mile journey is more than just a race; it’s a festival of sorts, celebrating the culmination of hard work, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of personal bests. Organized by the Lake Sammamish Run Club and Seattle United Runners, the event is poised to become a cornerstone of the local running calendar, drawing together the community in support of each runner’s quest for accomplishment. Whether it is to smash a personal record or simply to complete a half marathon, participants will share a common goal—to cross the finish line and wrap up the summer with a significant personal triumph. Inviting locals, potential newcomers, and businesses to engage, the Redmond Harvest Half Marathon is more than a run; it’s a harvest of fitness, community spirit, and celebration all rolled into one.
