Online registration will close approximately 2 days prior to the race date OR if the race meets capacity.  Register early to get the best rates!

Not everyone wants a shirt, they are a nightmare to maintain inventory-wise, the shirts don't get picked up and we are "stuck" with all of the extras. Behind the scenes, shirts need to be ordered "way in advance" and since most people are registering closer to the race date, this makes it difficult to bear the costs without knowing the final count.

Our solution: Instead of tees at every race, we offer "tickets" to be redeemed with one of our on-site vendors (coffee, cookie dough, and more) as a race perk. Nothing like a treat that is INCLUDED in your registration! And we aren't contributing to the landfills or over-loaded donating sites.

In addition to our “tickets” we started our Trees not Tees campaign.  One tree will be donated on behalf of those who registered.  https://onetreeplanted.org/products/washington.  Thanks for understanding and we appreciate your continued support of our FUN races!

*We welcome new participants! See specific race for details on registration times on race day.  Cash or credit cards are all accepted. Please note, that there is a $10 race day fee. 

*unless capacity has been met and we are SOLD OUT.

A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym, or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself.

Depending on the race site, we can be "cupless."  Cupless means we are limiting the water stations and will not provide cups.  If you need water, please bring your own water & water bottle.
