Starting from the West Lake Union Pedestrian Bridge and ending at Marshall Park, the Galer Traverse is a 5k that is not for the faint of heart. From Lake Union to the Queen Anne Radio tower athletes gain roughly 500 vertical feet in just under 3/4 of a mile. This is a great run for those training to 5k or just located in the Queen Anne neighborhood on both the east and west sides.
