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.

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.

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.

Awards

All finishers receive a complimentary t-shirt. An Awards Ceremony will take place for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place men’s and women’s finishers. The top three men's and women's finishers will receive a free pair of shoes courtesy of Road Runner Sports. Awards will be given for top finishers in the following age divisions: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60+. The top finisher in each age division will receive a $50 gift certificate for Road Runner Sports.

Event Buses

For the convenience of marathon participants staying at the Westin Seattle, two event buses will be available to transport 5K participants between The Westin Seattle and the 5K Race start line before and after the race.
