Come celebrate Family Fitness Day at Magnuson park and participate in a duathlon! What is a duathlon you ask? Well that’s a great question, and luckily we have the interweb to answer these stupefying questions. Apparently it’s like a triathlon except the swimming section is replaced with a second run. In this case it’s 1.6 mile run + 13 mile bike ride + 1.6 mile run. This can be done as an individual, teams, or even as a relay team. The powers that be have decided to hold their typical 5k, 10k, and 15k runs as well.
We are going to be there with yogurt and granola in hand to keep all these individuals and teams energized! Grab the kids; It’s hip to be fit!

On Saturday, August 28, Seattle Parks and Recreation will host Big Day of Play at Magnuson Park, from 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The day will begin with a 5K Fun Run/Walk, followed by a Free Kids’ 1K Run for children 10 and under. We’re going to be stationed near the start/finish so if you’re participating make sure to stop by after your run. If you’re not stop by as well, we don’t discriminate.
After the races, take some family time to relax at the free stage performances from Recess Monkey and Adefua African Dance and Drumming. There will be fun activity booths throughout the day, free food samples from PCC Natural Markets, food and vendor booths, paddling and sailing activities, free raffle prizes and a 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament.

For those of you outside of the 206 Seafair is how Seattle-lites celebrate summer. Each neighborhood has a parade, festival, or event that brings the community together. This all culminates when the hydroplanes hit Lake Washington and the Blue Angle soar into the skies. Typically this coincides with the Torchlight Parade and Run, which go though downtown. This year the powers that be decided to mix things up and hold the parade and run the week prior to the main events.
And what a run it was! This year’s 5k and 8k destroyed all previous records with nearly 6,000 participants. We were there at the start/finish line serving up fresh Bear Naked Parfaits and Grain-ola bars to almost every single one of them. Not to mention all of their friends and families. It was a great event with live music, an announcer we couldn’t get enough of, and people dressed to impress for the all important Pirate’s Booty “Pirates Adventure” Costume Contest.
Can’t wait for next week!

Seattle’s original road race features a NEW 5K and 8K course! For the first time both races will journey down the Alaska Airlines Torchlight Parade route and be televised live on KIRO TV.
The new route will start near South Lake Union, storm the Parade route, hit the viaduct and return to 9th Ave & Republican St near South Lake Union. And let’s not forget the great views of Lake Union and the post race beverage garden.
Don’t forget the Pirate’s Booty “Pirates Adventure” Costume Contest. Lots of awesome prizes for the best dressed, heck you might even win a free bag of Bear Naked Granola!
See y’all there!

Late breaking announcement! Bear Naked Granola is going to be at the Swedish SummeRun! Last year this race raised thousands of dollars benefitting the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. This year we’re joining in and bringing energy and extra enthusiasm to runners, joggers, and walkers as they make 5k and 10k tracks through downtown Seattle.
