About the Run Like a Mother 5K and Kid's 1-Mile 2027
The course starts at a local playhouse and finishes in Ballard Park, so the end-of-race celebration happens in a park rather than a parking lot. The route has a looped section, which means a water station comes around more than once. Families line the streets along the way, and there is a kids' activity area waiting at the finish.
Strollers and dogs are not allowed on the course or in Ballard Park, so spectators should plan around that. Headphones are permitted with one earbud only.

The Run Like a Mother 5K and Kid's 1-Mile 2027 has been held every year since at least 2022. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
