Race Information
The Seattle St. Patrick’s Day dash has humble beginnings, starting in the 1980s as a race between various bars. It’s now the city’s largest annual single-distance fun run, covering nearly 4 miles of downtown city streets. The dash is a family-friendly event with a wide variety of runners -- from younger athletes to fully costumed fun runners.
The Seattle St. Patrick’s Day Dash consistently brings in fields of around 17,000 runners (or dashers as they’re more commonly referred to).
Participants in the Seattle St. Patrick’s Day Dash get seeded according to their time and start in various waves. Also, make sure that you stick around after the run for the always-exciting costume contest and awards ceremony. It’s also worth noting that this event typically partners with several charitable groups specific to the Pacific Northwest.

Run along the Yakima Greenway Trail - May 11, 2024.
This race is part of the Run Super Series, it features a 5k, 10k, half, and full marathon.
One of the things we like is the terrain on the course. The run follows the mostly flat Yakima Greenway, however, you'll get full views of wineries, crops, and undulating terrain unique to the region.
Expect well supported out and back courses that are USATF certified (BQ eligible). Every participant will end up with a finisher medal and custom race shirt and a neck gaiter.
