2019 Lakewood Half Marathon

 Just TRI-7 Mile, 5K and Free 1-Mile Kids Fun Run 

September 15th, Fort Steilacoom Park

The past 2 years the racecourse was into Steilacoom and had ~3X the amount of ascent. The trail run portion in Fort Steilacoom Park (FSP) was…challenging. The course was tough! This year the course has been completely redesigned, it’s flatter, faster – much less steep-up-down-hills. The course winds its way to Oakbrook Park and to the Oakbrook Golf Course – which means there are a lot of tree shaded areas. It’s still no push over, but it’s more user friendly and ultimately a much better course.

The neighborhood streets of Lakewood are utilized and are accessed via the tunnel leading into Western State Hospital. YES, Western State has permitted the use through their campus and are even providing traffic control. The 7 Mile course turn around point is Oakbrook park, while the Half continues to the golf course and back to FSP, via the same route. There are two loops around Waughop Lake – 1 loop for all distances and 2 for the Half. The course in FSP is on the multi-use trails and very suitable for strollers and pets. That’s correct, Stroller and Pets are allowed! Best suited for the 5K but are permitted on the Half and 7 Mile run! The 5K and free 1 Mile Kids Fun Run are both completely inside FSP.

 

RACE DATE: Sunday, September 15th, 2019

Start Time for the Half, 7 Mile & 5K: 8AM

CASH PRIZES!

Just TRI host’s the 2019 Dragon Series!  This will be Dragon #3  It's like a 10K (6.2 miles) except it's 7 miles!  Yes, it's just a bit longer.  One mile for each letter of Just TRI.  This distance was designed for runners of all skill sets but be ready to take on the various challenging hills.  The JustTRI-7 is part of a 7-run series called the Dragon Series.  2019 has 3 Dragons and this is the 3rd Dragon Run!   2019 is the Dragon 3D!
