May the Course be with You 5K
The May the Course be with You 5K is an annual themed 5K event held in Seward Park, Seattle, with the next edition dated 5/2/27. The event encourages participants to wear galactic, space, or science fiction inspired costumes and includes themed photo opportunities and race-day surprises along the course.
Participants receive a custom finisher medal, a race shirt, and race swag while supplies last. Professional race photos are provided free of charge and there are finish-line goodies available. A course map is available for the route.
The event’s finisher medals are Woodles, made of reclaimed wood to reduce metal waste. Ridgeway Woodworks notes that much of their reclaimed wood is repurposed so that scraps and shavings are kept out of landfills.
The format is a 5K run/walk open to participants who wish to run or walk the distance. The event description highlights costumes, themed photo stations, and on-course surprises as part of the race atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
