ABOUT THE RUN
Our goal with this run is to raise money for the Uncompensated Care Fund at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Race day is Sunday, October 18th, 2026. The event offers kids dashes, a professionally timed 5k and a 10k, as well as a virtual run for our friends and fans who are not able to travel to Seattle. The start will be at Green Lake Community Center using both the inner trail, and surrounding park for the 10k, finishing back at the start. The kids’ runs will be held near the starting line after the other races are completed. We will have t-shirts for those registering early as long as supplies last as well as finisher medals!
Whether you prefer to run in person or virtually, we’ve got you covered. Our 3.1 mile course takes you through the beautiful Green Lake Community Center and baseball fields, while the 10K route will be the Green Lake loops inside and outside path.
Kids can also participate with our 1-mile, 200-meter, and 100-meter options.
Every step you take will make a difference in the lives of families facing difficult diagnoses and financial hardship. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a positive impact!
