Run for Agape 5K

Lace up your shoes for the Run for Agape 5K, an inspiring annual event set for Sunday, June 7, 2026, in the beautiful Magnuson Park, Seattle, WA. This family-friendly run and walk offers both a 5K and a shorter 2K option, making it accessible for participants of all ages and abilities. The course is notably flat, winding alongside scenic Lake Washington, providing a picturesque backdrop as you contribute to a profound cause. Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 70F and lows near 53F, with only a 5% chance of rain, promising ideal running weather.

The Run for Agape is more than just a race; it's a vibrant community gathering dedicated to supporting Camp Agape Northwest, a cherished organization that brings joy and respite to children battling cancer and their families. Starting and concluding right next to Lake Washington within Magnuson Park, the event fosters an uplifting atmosphere, embodying "Agape," the purest form of love. Last year alone, the event raised over $46,000 to help provide a no-cost retreat for families affected by childhood cancer. Strollers are welcome to join in the fun, although participants are asked to leave pets at home.

This USATF-sanctioned event kicks off with check-in at 8:00 AM, followed by the race start at 9:00 AM. By participating in the Run for Agape 5K or 2K, you'll not only enjoy a refreshing run in a beautiful setting but also make a tangible difference in the lives of children with cancer and their families, helping Camp Agape Northwest continue its vital mission.
