Cove2Cloveris a fun-filled, weekend-long event featuring a 5k/10k/Wee (Family) Race on Sunday March 11, 2012 right here in our South King County community. The quick ascent of a 1,000-foot hill aside, the course boasts a runner obstacle course that has been constructed in the middle of a live Celtic battlefield! It's sure provide crazy, muddy fun for the experienced runner or a family group.
Prepare for the Celtic battlefield!
You don't have to be a runner to participate! There's also a pub crawl, talent show and opportunities to sponsor youth runners or the event itself. All proceeds from the weekend's events are dispersed to local charities, and this year New Futures is a beneficiary! Last year's events raised $37,000 for nonprofits.
