Laura Carter@bud_t if you'll be in town on Saturday morning, there are a few parkruns around the city https://www.parkrun.us/ Other days, or closer to the city centre: a lap of Green Lake is about 5k.
@LauraC_rter Thanks! The conference is in a few weeks and the run will likely be on a Monday or Tuesday morning starting around 6:00-6:30? We would like to start new the Sheraton Grand Seattle (conference hotel, 1400 Sixth Avenue)
@bud_t in that case, I think your best best is running a few blocks down to Alaskan Way and then turning right and running along the waterfront up to Elliott Bay trail and Myrtle Edwards park, turning around when you've done 2.5k. There's no particularly nice route from 6th to Alaskan I'm afraid, but the waterfront is mostly pedestrianised, you'll go past the Sculpture Garden and the trail in the park is pleasant!
@LauraC_rter That is great information- thank you! The Strava heatmap shows a lot down Pike but it looks less defined to get to Alaskan Way as you say. Maybe we can have folks just meet down there. Then I like the idea of running up the waterfront for 2.5k and back!
@bud_t yeah, if people don't mind walking down to Alaskan, that would be my recommendation - the aquarium is a good landmark to meet at near there!
@LauraC_rter right on. I'll run it by my co-organizing colleagues and see what they think. Thank you!
