This year’s Loop the ‘Lupe is four days away! It’s the Seattle area’s only 5K obstacle course – one of four events that comprise Loop the ‘Lupe – and it’s raising money for community and social work done by Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, which is headquartered steps away from Walt Hundley Playfield, where you can Loop the ‘Lupe this Saturday (June 7). We checked in with Loop the ‘Lupe leader Brian Callanan about last-minute reminders. For one, he reminds you that you can sign up all the way until race day, so there’s room for procrastinators too. And whatever you’re signing up for if you’re 16 or older – the obstacle 5K, the fun run 5K, the Senior Saunter – here’s an extra option, Brian reminds us:

We still have 15 slots open for our inaugural Penalty Kick Soccer Shoot-Out with West Seattle Junction FC and the Rhodies. This is for registrants age 16+. For only $25, you’ll get to compete with other Loop athletes to see if you can score on some of West Seattle’s top goalkeepers! All entrants will receive 2 tickets to a Fan Appreciation Day for one of the teams later this summer (6/28 for Rhodies, 7/8 for WSFC). Our champion (we’ll do a playoff between our contestants to see who makes/who misses) will receive a pair of tickets for BOTH Fan Appreciation Days, plus a scarf and t-shirt.

Look for that as an option when you’re registering. And last but not least:

If people are looking for some volunteer hours, we have slots available, and especially could use help on obstacle teardown and general cleanup: runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/WA/Seattle/LoopTheLupe

Lots of other reasons to Loop the ‘Lupe too – it’s a party, a health fair, more.
