Seattle, WA
Entry is $34 now and rises to $39 after Nov 1, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs around Green Lake, which means you get water views the whole way and a path that is mostly flat. Costume culture is strong here; expect Santa hats, elf ears, and ugly sweaters throughout the field, which makes the crowd along the route easy to find and easy to cheer for.
