9:10 AM: Hundreds of runners have been leaving in waves over the past hour-plus for this year’s Orca Half Marathon, using a new course this year (as linked in our West Seattle Sunday lineup), starting near Colman Pool in Lincoln Park, looping through the park, then on toward the finish line at Don Armeni Boat Ramp. The run is benefiting The Whale Trail.
2 PM: Adding two more photos. Above, finishers at Don Armeni received medals. And they got a reminder of the reason for the run, courtesy of Mike, the inflatable orca, inspired by a Southern Resident Killer Whale of the same name (J-26):
Congratulations to the more than 700 runners, including longtime WSB readers Steph and Paul, who sent this selfie from the starting line:
