2026 Green Lake 5K & Wellness Festival

Saturday, October 24, 2026 · Green Lake Arch, Seattle

Run. Move. Recover. Connect. Celebrate.

Join us at Green Lake for a community-wide celebration of movement and wellness: the Green Lake 5K plus a free, all-day Wellness Festival (9:00 AM–3:30 PM) with outdoor workshops, music, recovery experiences, local wellness brands, and healthy food and drinks presented by Yerbana & Kid Friendly Seattle. 

The Race

Start your day with an energizing group warm-up led by former UW Husky and NBA player Bobby Ray Jones Jr. (aka Yoga Bob) of Grow Unwind Connect (GUC), getting you loose, motivated, and ready to run your best 5K on a flat, fast loop around the iconic Green Lake.

The race is professionally produced by Snohomish Running Company, so whether you're chasing a PR or out for a fun run, you're in great hands. This is a race for everyone, runners and walkers alike. Official pacers will lead groups from 17:00 to 24:00. High school and middle school teams compete for team awards.

Registration includes: race bib, chip timing, a custom race shirt, a finisher medal, race photos, and post-race programming.
