Chambers Bay 5K Challenge This Saturday, July 20

In addition to the 5K run, the 1-mile dash will be available for runners looking for an easier track.

Last year, 200 runners came out to tackle the Chambers Bay 5K Challenge. On July 20, this energizing fun run is back and better than ever.

The race--open to all ages and abilities--takes place along the Soundview Trail in Chambers Creek Regional Park, which offers some of the most breathtaking views in the Pacific Northwest as well as a muscle-straining challenge on the trail’s infamous switchbacks.Β 

For runners looking for an easier track, the 1-mile dash will take participants out and back on the adjacent Grandview Trail.
