Less than one week until West Seattle’s next benefit run/walk – the Alki Beach 5K, benefiting Northwest Hope and Healing, the West Seattleite-founded nonprofit that helps breast-cancer patients. It starts at 9 am next Sunday (August 25th) on Alki Avenue SW near 61st SW, and heads east from there – remember that the race route on Alki/Harbor Avenues will be closed for a few hours Sunday morning as a result. Online registration remains open until Friday morning; sign up here. Or you can sign up in person at West Seattle Runner (California/Charlestown; WSB sponsor), and of course, near the 5K starting line on Sunday morning (but why wait?).
