Event details
This set of group runs at Lincoln Park in Seattle takes place on June 20, 2026 and offers a range of in-person and virtual options. The event uses capped start waves; waves close when they fill and a virtual option or wait list is available. The format is a smaller, private group run with coordinators on site to provide support in a low pressure setting.
Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half marathon 13.1
- Virtual run option
- Family 1 mile
Timing is optional. Participants may track time with a fitness app and submit results for online posting, or request coordinator assistance for timekeeping. There are no timing chips. Swag for US registrants is mailed to the address provided and typically arrives the week of the race. Standard swag items include a running T shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. A technical running shirt upgrade is available for an additional five dollars.
There is no packet pickup requirement; race bibs are provided on race day. The organizer emails a final update the Wednesday before the event with course details and maps. Waves are filled on a first come, first serve basis and coordinators remain on site for several hours after the first wave to accommodate late arrivals. A virtual entry can be completed at any location using a tracking device and submitted for a medal and online results. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
