Lace up for a cause at the Lookin For A Cure Seattle, a poignant and uplifting 5K run/walk taking place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at the scenic Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle, WA. This inspiring event is dedicated to raising crucial awareness and funds for ocular melanoma, a rare eye cancer. Participants will enjoy a flat, road-surface course within the picturesque park, offering a beautiful backdrop for your efforts. Typical race day conditions in mid-July boast pleasant highs around 78°F and lows around 59°F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable morning.
More than just a race, the Lookin For A Cure Seattle is a community-driven gathering that brings together patients, survivors, caregivers, and supporters to make a tangible difference. The event actively supports local research at Fred Hutch Cancer Center with Dr. Stacey, directly contributing to the fight against ocular melanoma. Runners and walkers of all ages are welcome to join, with an aid station available along the route to keep everyone hydrated. Free parking is conveniently located just steps from the start line, ensuring an easy race day experience.
Participants can look forward to a rewarding experience, complete with a guaranteed race t-shirt (for those registered by June 29th), a finisher medal, food and drink, a commemorative race bib, and free downloadable photos. Prizes will be awarded to the largest team, largest fundraiser, and top finishers. With registration opening at 8 AM and the race kicking off at 9 AM, followed by awards at 10 AM, it's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a beautiful Seattle morning while supporting vital cancer research.
