Year Around There Are Things To Do At Snoqualmie Pass
How about scenery? Sure. How about a 100 mile race? Sure. You name it, you got it.
How about a 100 mile relay race? Sure. Snoqualmie pass has it all.
About 15 athletes from Sammamish are scheduled to compete Sunday morning in one of the fastest-growing athletic events in Washington.
The Mountains to Sound Relay is a 3-year-old race that combines biking, running and rowing into a 100-mile jaunt. The event is part of the annual Greenway Days festival. Learn more by clicking to the Sammamish Review.
It will begin at Snoqualmie Pass at 8 a.m. June 25th and end at Golden Gardens Park in Seattle later that day.
From Snoqualmie Pass, the mountain bikes go to Rattlesnake Lake.
From there, road bikes travel through North Bend and Fall City, just north of Sammamish, through Marymoor Park and finally to Redmond.
The rowing portion begins with a paddle through Sammamish Slough, before the marathon gets the hand-off in Kenmore.
The final six miles are from Gas Works Park in Seattle to Golden Gardens Park. The winners typically finish the race in about six hours.
