The Course
Run the route
The course couldn’t be more simple. You can choose between one or two laps around Green Lake — one loop is 2.8 miles, two loops is the 10K.
Registration is sold as a 5K and a 10K, but the actual distances are slightly shorter than that. Everyone runs the same loop, so all you have to decide is whether you go around once or twice.
All Orca races are cupless — bring a handheld or grab a small reusable folding cup at the start.
