The Traveler 5.5K Run/Walk celebrates the return of spring in Union, WA. “The Traveler,” a rock formation on the face of Mt. Washington in the Olympic Mountain range is visible only for a few months every year and only from the Union, WA. view of the mountain in spring. The race is a 3.4 mile race with some rolling hills along the private residential streets of the Alderbrook Golf Club. Join us for the post race viewing party after the race and enjoy your complimentary post race beer and awards ceremony!
