One Step Closer
One Step Closer is an endurance running event held at Lincoln Park in Seattle on August 14, 2027, organized by Orca Running and Evergreen Trail Runs. The event uses a looped trail course at Lincoln Park; participants complete the loop repeatedly during a selected timed entry.
Timed race options run for 18 hours, 12 hours, 6 hours, and 3 hours. A separate children's event, the Kids Loopy Race, runs for 30 minutes around the baseball field. During the adult timed events, each participant counts laps completed within their chosen time period. All participants finish together with a shared finish-line celebration.
Registration includes a team option called Battle of the run clubs. Teams can be formed of 2 to 5 members; the top three teams with the most total loops receive a finishers plaque. Entry fees listed for the adult timed events are $140 for 18 hour, $105 for 12 hour, $80 for 6 hour, and $60 for 3 hour. The Kids Loopy Race fee is $15.
For the Kids Loopy Race, children may take breaks and the course passes a snack station where treats are available during the 30 minute period. Each child who completes the Kids Loopy Race receives a One Step Closer medal and joins a group finish celebration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
