Auburn, WA
Entry is $30 now and rises to $35 after Dec 11, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
Roegner Park is the setting here, and starting a new year on a park course has its own particular feeling: quiet roads, cool air, and people who genuinely want to be there. The route is described as scenic, which in a park usually means trees and open space rather than traffic.
Dogs are not allowed on the course, so leave them home. Post-race snacks are out at the finish, which is a welcome thing on a cold morning.
