- Kids 1K (ages 12 and under, out-and-back on Sound View Drive)
The 5K course is USATF certified (WA22013RMB). Courses run through quiet neighborhoods with glimpses of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Puget Sound and include gentle rolling hills as well as flat sections.

Parents may run with children in the Kids 1K without registering for that distance.
