Seattle Marathon 5K race Nov 29th @ 9:00am

Event Info
If you’ve never been involved with the Seattle Marathon family of events, the 5K Run/Walk is a great introduction! This 3.1 mile race is perfect for both runners and walkers. Use it as a warm-up for the Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon, or create a fun, family outing to burn off some of those Thanksgiving Day calories. Treat your out-of-town guests to stunning views of Seattle while doing something healthy for the entire family.

The course
The USATF–certified course follows a winding concrete path along the beautiful Seattle waterfront. The course is out–and–back, beginning and ending near Pier 70 in Myrtle Edwards Park. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound. Spot big ships in Elliott Bay and coastal wildlife. Discover hidden gems along the course such as a working grain terminal and Olympic Sculpture Park.

Dogs on leash and strollers welcome
The ADA–compliant course is wheelchair–, dog– and stroller–friendly. We ask that walkers and parties with dogs, wheelchairs and strollers start toward the end of the line to reduce crowding and allow runners to achieve their best time.

Chip Timing for the 5K Run

This is a tough decision!!! Both cost only $25.00...

Turkey trot or Seattle Marathon 5K... any suggestions?

To be honest I picked Gig Harbor's 5K Turkey Trot because it is close to home - I think that in the end just getting out there and doing it that matters.
