REMINDER: West Seattle 5K tomorrow, on Alki and Harbor Avenues

| West Seattle news | West Seattle schools | WS & Sports

One last reminder that tomorrow (Sunday, May 19) brings more than 1,300 runners and walkers to Alki and Harbor Avenues for the West Seattle 5K. The no-parking signs are out (don’t defy them – you might get towed) and both streets will be closed to vehicle traffic between roughly 8 am and 11 am. It’s not too late to be part of it – you can still register online, or at the starting line – near the Alki Bathhouse (60th/Alki) – starting at 8:30 am Sunday. The West Seattle 5K is a fundraiser for programs supported by the West Seattle High School PTSA, which coordinates the event.

It’s odd how these 5K races are always so early in the morning. It seems like they’d get better turnout if they were around noon or 4pm.

Incorrect – almost every race is in the morning. That’s not how running works.

  I’ve been running for 48 years, NorthAdmiralNed. I know how running works. My favorite race is the Firecracker 5K at Seattle Center on the 4th of July…..at midnight.

Why would you think that running closer to the heat of the day would be better?

Sorry, comment time is over.
