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!
