Our Dragon Run is a 7 Mile, Safe and fun Run that has challenging terrain, fantastic scenery, and an opportunity to show off the local venue. We offer a 5K with our event and a Free 1 Mile Kids run. Fun for the whole family, with refreshments.
The course starts and finishes in the grassy area at the Sequalitchew trail head next to the DuPont city building. The city parking lot and gravel area across the street can be used for parking, and we will have a portapotties available or public restrooms will be available.
The “Dragon Run” will cross under Center drive via the tunnel there at the City Building, loop around to Bell Hill on a combination of trails and sidewalks, and circle back to Sequalitchew trail head; then proceed to the beach at the end of the trail, double back to cross the creek and climb up to the trail that runs along the train tracks over to Hoffman Hill area where the runners will use a combination of sidewalks and bike paths to return to Center Drive; they will then use the sidewalk to finish at the trail head area. The 5K will simply follow Sequalitchew trail to the beach and return to the trail head. There is a walk-through gate at the trail head that runners will navigate.
We expect approximately 50-100 runners, but there are only 35 entries available for the JustTRI 7 – with Medal and Shirt.
We will post volunteers along the courses to guide athletes. Participants are asked to carry water and be self-sufficient on the course, however we will have water on the course. Look for course marking including: stakes with signs, flags on clips, spray chalk and flour.
All The Information: This will be the SECOND RUN of the JustTRI 7 mile run - the Dragon Series. JustTRI has created 7 very unique finisher medals, in which the theme centers around dragon style designs. When Athletes complete all seven, 7 mile runs they will have completed a “Dragon”. Each medal, with it’s one of a kind shape, will fit together. At the end of 2018, after completing 7 events, 49 miles, participants get to celebrate with a 1 mile “victory lap” at Fort Steilacoom Park, the location of the last of the 2018 Dragon Series. Participants will receive a JustTRI “Dragon Series” medal holder. Athletes can sign up for all seven, 7 mile races individually or sign up for 6 events at once and get the 7th for free. 7 miles is just a bit more than the normal 10K, but far more rewarding.
NOTE: There are 40 athleteseligible for all 7 Dragons this year! These are participants that completed the FORT STEILACOOM PARK RUN on March 18th.
All JustTRI 7 participants will receive a medal and JustTRI Finishers T-Shirt. 7 miles, per race, was chosen as the distance, because each mile stands for each letter of JustTRI. The running events are meant to challenge runners and take advantage of the various venues of the local great running areas from Point Defiance to Olympia. The courses will vary, but will all be good, solid running events and make use of road and multi-use public trails. 5K Fun Run - Held during each of the JustTRI 7 mile events. We will have a great 5K run course as well. The 5K course will be relatively fast, but we do like to throw in a hill or two. No worries, it will be very doable for athletes of all caliber. Several of our 5K’s have included the steepest hills the venue will allow, but this will be a moderate level course and fun for the whole family…Just Tri! We invite the entire family to come enjoy the actives - JustTRI events always include various giveaways, refreshments and fun for everyone.
