About the Super Seattle 5K

The course runs the paved inner path around Green Lake, staying flat the whole way. Near the end, the route peels off toward the ball fields and finishes with a short downhill stretch that invites a final push. It is a road race on a park loop, and the flat surface makes it honest for anyone chasing a fast time.

Bib pickup is race-morning only, at the tent on the east side of the lake near the softball fields. The race collects canned food donations at the same spot, for local food shelters. Dress for cold and wet weather; this one runs in the heart of winter.

Common Questions About the Super Seattle 5K

Will I finish last at the Super Seattle 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Super Seattle 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (155 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Super Seattle 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:29 while the median finisher took 32:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.

Where can I train for the Super Seattle 5K?

Join a local run club. Club Northwest, Seattle Running Club, West Seattle Running Club and others in Seattle welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
