About This Race

Challenge your endurance at the Dizzy Daze on March 28, 2026, in Seattle, WA, offering both 12-hour and 5-hour timed race options. This classic ultramarathon unfolds on a pancake-flat, 3.2-mile loop around the picturesque Green Lake. Runners will navigate the outer groomed dirt path, traveling counter-clockwise, with partially paved sections and consistent scenery that some runners find surprisingly engaging despite the repetitive nature. Typical race day conditions for late March bring highs around 56°F and lows around 41°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, offering cool temperatures ideal for prolonged effort.

The Dizzy Daze is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent support, making it an ideal race for achieving personal records or tackling new distances in a low-stress environment. A single, fully stocked aid station is conveniently located at the start/finish line near the Bathhouse Theater, providing water, gels, sports drinks, electrolyte caps, an assortment of sweet and salty snacks, and even hot food like pizza, soup, and pie later in the day. Runners can also utilize a drop bag area adjacent to the aid station. The flat course and continuous aid access are particularly beneficial for consistent fueling and strategic pacing.

What makes Dizzy Daze truly unique is its celebrated motto: "All the pain and suffering of an ultra, without the annoying change in scenery!" This event allows participants to test their limits against the clock, focusing purely on mileage accumulated. Human timers ensure accurate lap tracking, requiring visible bibs each time you pass through the chute. Pacers are permitted for 12-hour runners after the 50K mark, adding another layer of support for those aiming for significant mileage. With parking readily available in the adjacent lot and along West Green Lake Dr. N, the event provides easy access for runners and their crews.
