Both courses start and finish in McCormick Park in downtown Duvall, near the Snoqualmie River. The easiest way to enter Duvall on race morning and get to the start will be to drive into Duvall from the Woodinville-Duvall Road. Watch for signs on race morning. Parking will be limited downtown due to some streets being closed for the Duvall Days Parade, which starts immediately after the runs. Arrive early for best parking on downtown side streets.

Carpooling is encouraged. Go Green! Visit our listing at www.rideshareonline.com .

A portion of race proceeds will once again be designated for funding our local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).

Why CERT? CERT is a Carnation-Duvall Citizen Corps Council training program that prepares people in neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools to take a more active role in emergency management planning, and to prepare themselves and others for disasters. We hope that funds raised through our local races can help support this vital program that helps keep our community running during emergencies.
