About the 2026 Greenlake 5K
The course follows the paved path around Green Lake, a flat loop through a busy Seattle park. The route is familiar to anyone who runs there regularly, but having it closed off and marked makes it feel different. A group warm-up gets things started before the gun, led by a local fitness instructor.
After the run, there is a yoga session in the park and a wellness market with local vendors. A DJ closes out the morning, so the area around the finish stays lively well past the last runner coming through.
