Your participation in the 5K run/walk helps cover educational programming like Saturday School, provide teacher mini-grants, and supports student clubs and more.

The 2026 event will be held on Sunday morning, May 17th at 9:30 a.m. along the beautiful Alki Beach. It's a fast, flat course great for avid runners, weekend joggers, walkers and families with children in strollers.

Enjoy a scenic waterfront run with stunning views of Puget Sound and the Seattle skyline. Course is flat and fast, starting and finishing at the Alki Beach House. Prizes for top three male and female finishers. Afterward, take advantage of one of Alki’s famous eateries, or enjoy a day of beachcombing while taking in all of the amenities Alki Beach has to offer.

Rain or shine. Strollers and leashed dogs okay. Race fee includes t-shirt (for first 1,000 registrants, while supplies last) and chip timing.

Please note, this is a fundraiser for West Seattle High School. Proceeds from previous events have been used to improve math, science, music, drama and communications.
