May the Course be with You 5k
The May the Course be with You 5k is a Star Wars themed running and walking event held at Ravenna Park in Seattle, Washington. The event takes place on a single day in early May to celebrate the unofficial galactic holiday. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes inspired by the film franchise, such as lightsabers, Yoda ears, or Wookiee outfits, as they navigate the course.
The event offers several participation options to accommodate different ages and preferences:
- 3.1 Miles: The standard 5k distance for runners and walkers.
- Youth 5k: A specific category for participants under the age of 14 which includes youth-sized shirts.
- Virtual 5k: An option for those who wish to complete the distance remotely without a shirt included.
- Kids' Run: A free entry option for children that is untimed and does not include a bib or medal.
The in-person race is held at 5520 Ravenna Ave NE. The event focuses on a festive atmosphere where fans of the space saga can gather to walk or run together. Registration fees vary based on the selected category, with physical and virtual options available for those looking to participate in the celebration.
