I Can and I Will Run : event overview
The I Can and I Will Run is an annual charity running event held at Green Lake. The event features timed adult races and multiple children’s distances, and offers both in-person and virtual participation. It includes finishing medals and event swag.
Distances offered:
- 5 km (3.1 miles)
- 10 km
- Kids: 1 mile, 200 m, 100 m
The course uses paths around the Green Lake Community Center, nearby baseball fields, and the Green Lake loops. The event is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026, and is described as professionally timed.
The event was founded by a family after a child in their care received a diagnosis of a rare genetic disorder that requires ongoing treatments and surgeries. The family organizes the run to raise funds for Seattle Children’s Hospital.
One hundred percent of proceeds benefit the hospital’s uncompensated care fund, which supports medical care for children in the region regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The description of the event notes awards and a race wrap-up as part of the day’s program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
