Lace up for an inspiring journey at the Self-Transcendence 2 Mile Races, a monthly tradition hosted by the renowned Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in Seattle, Washington. On June 6, 2026, runners of all levels are invited to experience a unique event rooted in the philosophy of personal betterment and inner strength. This complimentary race offers a refreshing opportunity to test your speed and endurance in a supportive and meditative atmosphere that has been a fixture in the local running community for over three decades.
The scenic 2-mile course at Magnuson Park winds along the picturesque shores of Lake Washington, featuring a looped out-and-back route. Runners will enjoy stunning views, including glimpses of birds, eagles, and even Mount Rainier on clear days, while navigating a varied surface of pavement, gravel, and chip, with some sections offering a "trail run" feel through wooded areas. The start and finish line is conveniently located just north of the boat ramp, accessible across a charming wood footbridge. Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 69°F and comfortable lows near 53°F, with only a 5% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a fast and enjoyable run.
