The Course

In Seattle Marathon style, the 10k will start and end at Seattle Center, traveling through downtown Seattle, past Pike Place Market overlooking the waterfront piers before turning around to head onto the Alaskan Way viaduct. The course then heads north on Aurora through Queen Anne, turning back around and exiting at Mercer to finish near the International Fountain.

Dogs on leash and strollers welcome

The ADA-compliant course is wheelchair-, dog- and stroller-friendly. We ask that walkers and parties with dogs or strollers start toward the end of the line to reduce crowding and allow runners to achieve their best time. Wheelchair and handcrank participants will start a few minutes before the rest of the 10K participants.

Water/Aid Stations

Water/Aid stations are approximately every two miles. There are 3 Water/Aid Stations on the 10k course. Talking Rain water and G Series 02 Perform Thirst Quencher in orange flavor will be available at each station, in addition to basic medical items and Honey Bucket portable toilets. GU will be available at Mile 4.

Packet Pickup

Packet pickup will be available on Friday, August 24 from 3:00pm – 8:00pm at Seattle Center, Fisher Pavilion.
