Beat The Blerch is a 5k, 10K, half, and full marathon created by The Oatmeal. It was inspired by a character called The Blerch, who came from this webcomic about running.
The course is a beautiful, flat, out-and-back gravel trail that winds its way through evergreen, mossy forests along the Snoqualmie valley trail. Please note that for both the half marathon and the 10K, participants will start in waves of about 150 to 200 people, spaced approximately 2-3 minutes apart.
