Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Run to END Weekend Hunger 5K, set to take place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, in beautiful Seattle, Washington. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to run or walk a 5K while supporting the vital mission of Backpack Brigade, Washington's largest weekend-hunger relief organization for schoolchildren. Your participation directly helps to provide food for over 5,000 students weekly across 102 schools in King County, ensuring children have access to nourishment when school is not in session.

The scenic 5K course unfolds within Seward Park, a picturesque setting at 5902 Lake Washington Boulevard S. Runners can anticipate a generally accessible route, with the added benefit of Lake Washington Boulevard being closed to cars on race day for a safer and more enjoyable experience. What truly sets this race apart is its vibrant, community-focused atmosphere, highlighted by the enthusiastic encouragement of costumes for all participants. Whether you arrive as a superhero, a beloved character, or a sparkling family, there are prizes for the most fun and creative outfits. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with fellow runners at a lively post-race gathering, complete with coffee, snacks, and local vendors.

Typical race day conditions in late May offer pleasant weather for a run, with highs around 69°F and lows around 52°F, accompanied by a low 6% chance of precipitation. With its inspiring cause, scenic location, and festive spirit, the Run to END Weekend Hunger 5K promises a rewarding experience for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.
