HOLIDAY SCENE: West Seattle Runner’s 2025 Christmas Lights Run

Some of the greater Admiral area’s most brightly decorated homes might have noticed a large group of visitors on foot tonight: The annual West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) Christmas Lights Run left the shop at 2743 California SW just after 5 pm. First, of course, the traditional group shot – here are the 30+ people who defied the rain (as runners tend to do) to take part:

Here’s the 5K-ish route that WSR proprietors Tim and Lori McConnell mapped out:

Tonight’s runners also were offered the chance to try out new Brooks shoes – one of many “demo runs” that WSR does during the course of its regular free multiple-times-a-week group runs. Also of note – you have two more days to shop WSR before Christmas, regular hours Monday and Tuesday, then they’ll be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

    Can anybody point out the actual starting point and especially the direction of travel vs the R and L turning directions listed out?  Doesn’t make any sense at all to me!  The route itself is clear – but without a direction of travel — the R and L turns are completely screwy!

      The directions look consistent to me. It’s going clockwise from top center. Also if you look closely there are mile markers.

Sorry, comment time is over.
