About the Event

Paradise Valley Conservation Area in Woodinville, WA is a forested trail area with lush trees and ferns with well-maintained trails rolling and winding through the woods.  This event is in conjunction with and in support of Farmer Frog's annual fall celebration called Frog Fest in Paradise.  here will be a festival atmosphere with food and craft vendors, live music, artesian workshops, kids activities and more. In the evening, Farmer Frog hosts their annual sit down fundraiser dinner at 6 pm that will include a special guest comedian, not-so-silent auction and amazing food. Come out with the entire family to run and hang out all day on the grounds of Farmer Frog's headquarters at Paradise Valley Conservation Area. The races include a half-marathon, 10K, 5K and kids 1K. Trails will be well marked, and runners will be supported with aid stations along the way.
