About the Lookin For A Cure Seattle
The course runs through Warren G. Magnuson Park, a large lakeside park on the northeast edge of Seattle. The terrain is park paths, so the footing is straightforward and the surroundings are open water and grass rather than pavement and traffic. The race supports research into a rare eye cancer, so the field tends to draw people connected to that cause alongside regular runners.
Free parking sits just past the boat launch, close enough to the start that you are not walking far before the race even begins. The event runs a fundraising layer alongside the timed race, with prizes going to top fundraising teams as well as top finishers, so some people come with a full crew rather than solo.

The Lookin For A Cure Seattle has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
