About the Running Scared 5K/13K - Seattle
The courses run through a park on the Bonanza Trail, and the terrain stays flat throughout. The longer distance does a couple of laps, which means spectators can catch runners more than once without moving far. The route is set up so that families can spread out along the course and still see most of what happens.
Registration and check-in open on race morning, with enough time before the first start to get sorted without rushing. No separate pickup day to plan around.
