CRAFT CLASSIC RACE TEE REVEAL

Get a glimpse of the race tee folks will receive when they participate in my favorite summer finish line party at the Craft Classic Half & 5k!

This August 2nd race starts and finishes in Downtown Redmond, and last year it felt like a summer block party from start to finish! You’ll be super speedy on this flat and fast course, and we’ve got pacers from Super Pacers helping you hit those summer PRs. Don’t forget to pop into the charity beer garden for a Manny’s! We are so grateful to for donating the kegs, and the money raised will support the Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund. 🫶

Wanna be extra cool? Take the Link light rail and hop off at the Downtown Redmond station - it’s a 5 minute walk and will save you time and money searching for parking on race day. Bring your own hydration pack or reusable cup and you’ve earned the title of ECO WARRIOR for the remainder of the season. 🙌

Prices go up on June 1st, so make sure to get registered now and get your friends in on what will definitely be a summer highlight. See you there, Orca fam!
