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

This year’s course starts at 5th & Harrison at Seattle Center, travels south down 5th Avenue, turns around and heads north back up 5th, finishing at the International Fountain at Seattle Center.

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.

T-shirts & Goody Bags

All finishers receive a complimentary t-shirt and goody bag. Finishers pick up their t-shirt and goody bag after the race.

Results

Unofficial results will be posted near the finish line as soon as they are available. A complete listing of official results will be posted at www.seattlemarathon.org shortly after the race.

Timing

The race is timed using Winning Time chip technology on a USATF-certified course. All 5K Race participants must wear a chip in order to appear in the results. A $30 fee will be assessed for any chips not returned by the end of the event.

First Mile Challenge

New this year, awards will be given for the best first-mile split time in addition to the best overall 5K time. To be eligible for the First Mile Challenge award, a participant must complete the full 5K distance.

Awards

  • Awards will be given for the top three overall runners (male & female), the top three age division runners (male & female), and top masters runners (40+ male & female) for both the First Mile Challenge and full 5K distance.
  • The top three men's and women's finishers will receive a free pair of shoes courtesy of Road Runner Sports.
  • The top finisher in each age division will receive a $50 gift certificate for Road Runner Sports.
  • Age divisions are as follows: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60+
  • Double dipping from both overall and age division is allowed for both the First Mile Challenge and 5K distances.
  • All First Mile Challenge and 5K distance times will be based on the official time, or gun time, per USATF rules.

High School Team Challenge

New this year, we are organizing a special High School Team Challenge as part of the Seattle Marathon 5K Race.  The High School Team Challenge is a perfect way for high school runners to show off their hard work and to come together as a team during the Thanksgiving Weekend.
