Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun

Redmond Transit Center is about a 5-minute walk from the start of the parkrun. This is serviced by the 545 bus from downtown Seattle, 542 bus from the University of Washington, 250 bus from Kirkland and Line B bus from Bellevue.

Line 2 of the Sound Transit light rail operates every ten minutes and offers convenient service to Downtown Redmond from various stations including Lynnwood, Shoreline, University of Washington, downtown Seattle, Mercer Island and Bellevue.

Upon arrival at the Downtown Redmond Station, participants can reach the start of the parkrun via a pleasant 10-minute walk along the Redmond Central Connector Trail.

From Redmond town center, head north along 164th Ave NE or 166th Ave NE. When you intersect NE 76th Street head west and you should find the continuation of the Redmond Central Connector Trail.

If coming from Woodinville along the Lake Sammamish River Trail take the left fork after NE 85th Street (and before you pass under the trestle bridge). Then go left on the Redmond Central Connector Trail for about 300 m to reach the start.

If approaching along SR 520 take the exit for Redmond Town Center / Marymoor Park. At the traffic lights turn left on West Lake Sammamish?Parkway. At the next set of traffic lights turn right onto Leary Way, followed by a left at the traffic lights onto Bear Creek Parkway. There is parking at 7541 Leary Way NE that is on the right side. The parking is free for the first two hours.

If 7541 Leary Way NE is full then there is also parking at Luke McRedmond Landing that is 1 minute farther west along Bear Creek Parkway.

Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

• Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
• Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
• Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
• We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
• Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
• Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
• Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
• If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
• If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
• It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
• Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
• You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
• parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
