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.
