Christmas Rush Fun Run and Walk
The Christmas Rush is a community road race held in Kent that offers a 10k and a 5k run/walk along the Green River. The event starts and finishes near the city shops on 240th and uses trails and roads that cross the river and pass through Van Doren's Landing Park.
Registration opens September 29. Entry fees vary and a shirt option is available with a separate deadline for shirt orders. Participants aged 13 and under run free courtesy of a sponsor. Day of race registration is available for a separate fee.
Course details are provided for each distance; both courses run clockwise and participants are asked to stay to the left on the route. Awards are given by age group after the race.
Dogs are not permitted on the course. Strollers are allowed with instructions to position appropriately at the start. Packet pick up is scheduled the day before the race at Road Runner Sports in Kent Station, and race day packet pick up is available for those who miss the earlier pickup.
Volunteer roles include course marshals, water and snack distribution, and general event support. Parking is available at Hogan Park at Russell Road. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
