Course lengths are finally official. Also, if you're wondering what sort of shoes to wear, the course will take place almost entirely on paved or hard-packed dirt trails. There is some woods navigation at one section of the full, but you have the option to remain almost entirely on trails. Mini and half courses are all urban navigation.
You will have to write the answers to the clues on the provided answer sheet, so maybe think about the most efficient way for you to carry a pencil, a clue sheet, and an answer sheet.
Weather looks warm (high 54F), but a 30% chance of showers.
There will be no refreshments along the course, though if you bring some cash, you are running through a city, so there's a good chance you could pause at a corner store for some sustenance.
Course lengths:
Mini: 6.5km straightline, 8km shortest runnable route
Half: 12.6km straightline, 15km shortest runnable route
Full: 22.1km straightline, 27.3km shortest runnable route

Interesting! Point-to-point urban race! (I've never done one of those before)

FYI, top foot teams at Street Scramble cover about 31 km of actual distance in 3 hours. The record for top bike teams is about 55 km. This with Bay Area elevation profiles; in Seattle they may cover slightly more distance.
