From the organizer
The four-mile run benefits the BRRC volunteer program. Please bring your gently used shoes and clothing for donation to high school athletes in the area. Fish Lake Trail Head: The trailhead is near Government Way and Sunset Hwy. Take I-90 to Exit 279 for US-195 S toward Colfax/Pullman. Continue on 195 for 0.3 miles, then turn right onto W. 16th Avenue, which turns into S. Lindeke St. Continue on Lindeke until you see the parking lot on the right, about another 0.5 miles. Trailhead is near Government Way and Sunset Hwy. Parking is limited, so please car-pool.
From the Spokane trailhead, the route follows a mild uphill grade. The bridge crosses over the I-90 Freeway. On your left, trees separate you from US 195 for a couple miles and then from Cheney Spokane Road, which loosely parallels the trail. Half-mile markers guide you through the dry uplands of Eastern Washington. The trail follows a piece of corridor of the Oregon–Washington Railroad & Navigation Company (a division of the Union Pacific Railroad) through the Latah Valley, formerly Hangman Valley. At Marshall Canyon, take in railroad history as you travel beside active rail lines through the area known by rail fans as "The Tunnel."
