Schedule

Stan's racewalker mobile.

Every month we have our Second Saturday racewalks around Green Lake in Seattle, Washington.

(At times there are conflicts with more formal races or other events so check periodically here to see the latest schedule. We usually move the second Saturday up or back a week depending on the other events rather than eliminate these. Often we move up a week as a tuneup before more important races.)

This is an informal race of 2.8 miles on a paved path. Meet at the south side of the Evans Pool Community Center building, next to the basketball court, at 8:45. Race begins at 9:00 AM. We meet all year, rain or shine. Check your calendar for dates of each second Saturday of the month.

Clinics for beginners are held on the same dates as the races at 10 AM after the 9:00 race at the same location. Fee is $5 one time, lifetime fee. Come as often as you like. Please call Stan at 206-527-9393 for advance reservation. If no one calls or shows up by 10, we keep moving for a warmdown lap around the lake. No clinic on November 1st, 2008. See below.

An informal group also meets at the south end of Green Lake, under the Aquatheater bleachers, at 6 PM every Thursday for a walk around the lake. This is for experienced walkers and proceeds at about 11-12 minute mile pace however is not really a workout group, more of a social walk.
