We’re waiting for race results with names and times but these two runners were first in:

The video labeled wave 3 is actually wave 4. You can tell because there isn’t anybody behind them.

Thanks, I’ll check with P in the morning, I thought he had recorded all four.

One of the biggest disappointments after moving to Seattle is the lack of road closures for road races. Pushing everyone on a bike path makes these runs/races less desirable to participate in.

They do close the street for some events, running and otherwise, but the permits are expensive and the road closures require a sizable number of volunteers and/or paid off-duty officers

As a runner I completely agree. I have friends who live in the Midwest that have local races every weekend with road closures. Bummer for sure!
