RACE INFO
Welcome to The Rain Run!
At the Rain Run, we believe it's better to be running and wet, than sitting and dry. So get out your rain gear and join us for a 13.1 mile romp through some April showers and go home feeling like you rocked the grey weather, it didn't rock you!

​​Join us on April 16th, 2022 and you'll get some super swag!
- Chip-timed Rain Run half marathon entry.
- Bling! We'll have a BIG, shiny finisher's medal waiting for you at the finish!
- Running belt! Perfect for stashing your goodies on long runs.
- Cupcakes with...wait for it...SPRINKLES!
- Chance for random prize give-aways from our sponsors.
- Bragging rights that you kicked butt in the rain.
​
The half marathon course will take runners along the beautiful Sammamish River trail between Redmond and Woodinville, just east of Seattle. The out and back course is scenic, peaceful and FLAT! There will be aid stations near miles 3, 7 and 11.

GEAR
We picked this date for the race because of its high likelihood of being RAINY! This means you'll need to wear the right gear. We recommend avoiding cotton. Instead, dress in wicking fabrics that won't chafe or change shape once they become wet. A very light, waterproof, breathable rain jacket or vest is a good idea, and a pair of good wicking socks is a must. But, our favorite rainy weather tip? A hat! A hat with a nice brim will keep the rain off of your face and have you feeling a lot less exposed.
​
​It seems a shame not to use this spot to plug one of our sponsors that does an amazing job of keeping us dry on rainy runs, so here goes. Nothing beats GORE-TEX for keeping dry during a rainy outdoor adventure. Jackets and shoes engineered with GORE-TEX Active give you a waterproof AND breathable reason to get out there and run in the rain.

If you have further questions about gear for the rain, the folks at Road Runner Sports in Bellevue are a great resource!
