Established 2005, the Seattle Running Club is a Puget Sound-based running group that celebrates the beauty of our region and our personal potential with training, competition, and community. While the club offers a unique focus on trail running, members also rally on the road, track, and cross country course.
Registration is now open for the Cougar Mountain Trail Series races! See you in May!
