The Best Races - Seattle

Seattle hosts The Best Races events at Lincoln Park (8011 Fauntleroy Way Southwest). The series offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances (5K/10K/13.1). The events emphasize a small, private-group vibe with capped waves and a warm, stress-free atmosphere.

Timing is optional; runners can use apps for timing or have coordinators assist, without timing chips. Swag includes a mailed running shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, and a medal, with online results and certificates available. Packet pickup is streamlined with shirts mailed ahead of the race and bibs provided on race day.

Virtual options and local-running-club invitations extend participation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
