Get ready for a unique and treasure-filled running experience at the ATFS! Garage Sale 5K, taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Auburn, Washington. This chip-timed 5K run or walk promises a lighthearted atmosphere and a dash of delightful unpredictability, making it perfect for runners and walkers of all paces. Embracing its "Garage Sale" theme, participants can look forward to themed surprises throughout the event, including a bib, shirt, and medal that charmingly "may not match" — a nod to collecting unique swag, potentially even from past events. It's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy community fun and perhaps snag some unexpected running treasures.
The event kicks off at 9:00 AM PDT from 601 Oravetz Rd SE, Auburn, WA 98092. In an effort to reduce its environmental footprint, the ATFS! Garage Sale 5K is a cupless event, encouraging participants to bring their own water bottles or hydration systems to fill at designated water stations. Those who carpool to the event with three or more people (not from the same household) even have a chance to win a gift card from CaskCades. Typical race day conditions in early May for Auburn, WA, feature comfortable highs around 64°F and lows around 46°F, with only about a 12% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant running weather.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply seeking a fun, community-focused walk with friends and family, the ATFS! Garage Sale 5K offers an engaging experience beyond the finish line. Join for a memorable day filled with movement, community spirit, and quirky "garage sale" surprises.
