From the Organizer
Ready to run it back? Symphony Tacoma invites you to our Second Annual Beat Beethoven 5K at Wright Park in Tacoma Washington. This a one-of-a-kind race where music and movement collide! Lace up, find your rhythm, and feel the power of Beethoven as you race to the sounds of one of the most iconic symphonies of all time, Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, this experience is designed for everyone who loves music, fitness, and a little friendly challenge.
Here’s the twist: you’ve got the length of the symphony to make it to the finish line. With the music lasting about 30 minutes, your goal is to cross before that final, triumphant da-da-da-daahh rings out.
Can you Beat Beethoven…again?
