There may not have been any sunshine, but it was perfect weather for runners this morning for the Alki Beach 5K Walk/Run. Shari Sewell, Director of Northwest Hope and Healing, tells us that 1,160 participants registered for the race this year. She said that, though the number is about 10% less than average, they actually still managed to raise more money: in excess of $45,000.

The runners left the mark at 9am, just west of the Alki bath house, for a 5 kilometer (or roughly 3.1 mile) course east along Alki and then back to the finish line at the same point where they started.

Here’s a short video clip of the start of the race:

Bellingham’s Sean Messiter was the first of the men to finish with a time of 16 minutes and 23 seconds:

For the women, Nancy Ellis of Tacoma led the way in at 18 minutes and 42 seconds:

Complete race results are posted online here.
