Lace up for an exhilarating start to spring at Run The Green, returning to Kent, WA, on March 14, 2026. This popular event, celebrating its fourth annual running, offers both a Half Marathon (13.1M) and a 10K, promising a "flat and fast" experience on the scenic Green River Trail. Runners consistently praise the course for its smooth, well-maintained surface and beautiful views of the river and a lush golf course, making it ideal for seasoned athletes chasing a personal best or newcomers seeking a delightful run in nature. Typical race day conditions in mid-March feature comfortable highs around 53F and lows near 40F, with a modest 21% chance of precipitation.

Organized by Orca Running, known for its "well-organized, professional, personable, safe and fun" events, Run The Green starts and finishes at Three Friends Fishing Hole, located at 19970 Russell Rd, Kent, WA. The out-and-back course ensures a straightforward race, with the half marathon featuring a small turnaround loop and the 10K turning just past the first aid station. Aid stations are strategically placed every 2-3 miles along the route, providing essential GU/Clif gels and Tailwind Endurance Fuel. In line with Orca Running's commitment to sustainability, this is a cupless race, so participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration vessels or utilize a provided reusable cup. Restrooms are available at the start/finish area and at a couple of locations on the course.

Participants can look forward to a rewarding finish, receiving a commemorative shirt, a dazzling medal, and free photo downloads to capture their achievement. Post-race, celebrate your accomplishment with complimentary hot soup or snacks. With race reviews frequently highlighting the excellent organization, friendly atmosphere, and speedy course, Run The Green is a standout choice for runners in the Pacific Northwest.
