Ravenna Run the Ravine
Ravenna Run the Ravine is a trail event held at Ravenna Park in Seattle, north of the University District. The event is part of the Tuesday Night Trail to Grill series and offers the following distances:
- 4k
- 8k
- 12k
All courses use the same 4.1 km loop on groomed forest trails that traverse a ravine. The loop features a low to moderate climb of about 230 feet per loop, with a few steeper pitches and mostly gentle slopes as the route goes up and down the ravine.
An aid station is located at the start/finish area and provides water, electrolyte sport drinks, and a selection of carbohydrate or salty items such as cookies, energy bar pieces, gels, chews, chips, fig bars, and bananas. Participants in the 8k and 12k distances pass the aid station once and twice, respectively.
Facilities and logistics notes: the park parking lot has fewer than 30 spaces, with additional street parking available to the north and south under differing restrictions. Weekend evening traffic and park usage can be heavy. Post-run refreshments include hot dogs, veggie dogs, watermelon, and other snacks. Awards are presented for the top three finishers in Female and Open categories for each distance.
Safety and etiquette information follows USATF policies. Dogs are not allowed on course. Participants are responsible for their own safety and should follow on-course passing etiquette and headphone guidelines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
