The Memorial Day Run at Lincoln Park in Seattle on May 23, 2026 is a commemorative running event offering multiple distance choices and a virtual option. The event is organized as a smaller, wave-based group run with a cap per wave; waves are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and a waitlist or virtual entry is available when waves sell out.
Available distances:

Timing is optional and there are no timing chips. Participants may track time with mobile apps or request coordinator assistance for timekeeping. Coordinators remain on site after the first wave to accommodate late arrivals.
Each entrant receives a swag bag that can include a running T-shirt shipped in the United States, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. Race bibs are provided on race day; technical running shirts are available as an optional paid upgrade.
The event includes fundraising options and a charity initiative in which the organizer donates one dollar per mile logged after the race to partner charities. Sponsors listed for the event include GATORADE and several local partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
