Cascade's annual fund-raiser for WIOL juniors! The runners don't have maps, but they are led around the course on a mobile phone by their teammates!

Standard event fees do not apply for this event. $10 minimum donation suggested for all participants, except WIOL kids, who may participate for free.

Juniors headed to the Interscholastics can earn scholarship money by volunteering -- click the link below! The more time spent volunteering, the more money earned.

No off-trail travel at this event! The Seward Park forest, as one of only two stands of old-growth in Seattle, is in the midst of a forest preservation effort, and we have agreed not to go off-trail into the forest at this event. So remember to stay on trail in the forest. Courses will be scenic, challenging, and fun nonetheless!

Three courses offered:

1) MoboGoGlobo! Course, 4.4km.

Registration window is now closed.  Local runners are paired with global navigators! Mobile phones are required. More info at this website.
