About This Club

Cascade Run Club is a goal-oriented training club based at Green Lake in Seattle, with sister locations on the Eastside and up north in Lynnwood/Mill Creek. It's built around training plans and race prep rather than a casual weekly jog, and the Seattle group stays small, 5 to 10 people. This suits someone with a race on the calendar who wants structure around it, not someone looking for a no-commitment run.

Highlights

  • Multiple locations (Seattle
  • Eastside
  • North)
  • Goal/race-focused training cycles
  • Small group sizes (5-10 in Seattle)
  • Customized training plans
  • Hosted track workouts
  • Weekly hosted group runs

Who It Suits

This suits a runner training for a specific race who wants a structured plan, track work, and accountability through a hard-workout cycle.

It doesn't suit walkers, since walk breaks aren't part of how the club runs things, and it's not the fit for someone who wants to show up with no sign-up and no commitment, membership is required and the whole structure is pointed at race goals. If you want a loose, drop-in run, this isn't set up for that.

What a Run With Them Is Like

Runs happen Sundays as weekly hosted group runs, and the club also hosts track workouts as part of training cycles. Distance depends on where you are in your training plan, since everything is built around 3-4 week hard-workout cycles aimed at a focus race.

Terrain covers both road and track. Pace is customized to your own fitness and goals rather than one fixed group pace, so the plan is meant to move with you, not the other way around.

Your First Run

Before you show up, you go through an intake process: submit the contact form on the club's site and get in touch with team manager Katie, since membership is required to join. Look at the membership options (there's a full option and others) and confirm the current schedule directly with the club, since some schedule info online is member-restricted.

Once you're set up, runs meet at Green Lake, at the spot on East Green Lake Drive North in the Roosevelt area. Pace is customized from the start, so arriving as a beginner isn't a mismatch, the plan gets built around your level rather than dropping you into someone else's pace group.
