I apologize to those of you who participated in the February Resolution Run and the My Better Half. If your photos were not shown in Bruce’s report, It was entirely my fault. I failed to warn you that some of the distances were not part of the series. Accordingly, Bruce didn’t take photos of the finishers of the 15k finishers at the Resolution Run and the 5k and 10k finishers at the My Better Half. If you did these distances, rest assured you will get full credit for your race and points earned. I have made text corrections where necessary and corrected the standings. I’m sorry about the missing photos. Bruce did his usual excellent work. The photo omissions are my fault entirely.

We will leave irrelevant distances out of the standings from now on.

From ParkRun Race Director – Information on how to update a profile on the parkrun website, as we often get emails from Silver Striders who want to have your group name included next to their name in the results section.

If your members want to update their profile, we’re unable to do that on our end. They will need to log on to the parkrun registration website,

www.parkrun.com/signin

Once they sign in there is a menu of items including ‘Groups.’ Clicking on that opens a new page where you can add the running group you are part of.

Cushman Trail Directions
Directions from Tacoma- Enter the Narrows bridge in the right lane. Changing lanes on the bridge is forbidden and you want to take the first exit which is immediate. Turn right at the end of the off ramp. Then turn left on 14th. Go past 29th St for about 2 blocks. Watch for the trailhead on the left.
Directions from North approach– Take Willotchet off ramp and turn left. Go two blocks to the 2nd light (Kimball St.) and turn right. Follow the yellow line for about 4 miles. The street will twist and turn, changing name 4 times, but it will take you to the trailhead on 14th St. just past 32nd street on your right.
