Join us at Green Lake for a community-wide celebration of movement and wellness: the Green Lake 5K plus a free, all-day Wellness Festival (9:00 AM–3:30 PM) with outdoor workshops, music, recovery experiences, local wellness brands, and healthy food and drinks presented by Yerbana & Kid Friendly Seattle.
Start your day with an energizing group warm-up led by former UW Husky and NBA player Bobby Ray Jones Jr. (aka Yoga Bob) of Grow Unwind Connect (GUC), getting you loose, motivated, and ready to run your best 5K on a flat, fast loop around the iconic Green Lake.
The race is professionally produced by Snohomish Running Company, so whether you're chasing a PR or out for a fun run, you're in great hands. This is a race for everyone, runners and walkers alike. Official pacers will lead groups from 17:00 to 24:00. High school and middle school teams compete for team awards.
Registration includes: race bib, chip timing, a custom race shirt, a finisher medal, race photos, and post-race programming.
Packet pickup: 7:30–8:45 AM. Bring your ID and registration confirmation.
First wave starts: 9:00 AM, with multiple waves through the morning.
Location: Everything happens at the Green Lake Arch, between the Community Center and E Green Lake Dr N.
Parking: 7351 East Green Lake Dr N.
After you cross the finish line, stick around for free outdoor wellness workshops:
11 AM – Yoga · 12 PM – Tai Chi · 1 PM – Pilates / HIIT · 2 PM – Silent Disco Party! (headsets provided, limited availability) · 3 PM – Live Music & Celebration
Please RSVP for the free Wellness Festival here. It's separate from your race registration, and it helps us plan for everyone joining us after the race.
Explore local wellness businesses, practitioners, recovery experiences, hydration partners, and healthy eats. The Kids & Family Zone is next to the Green Lake Park playground. Not running? You don't need to register for the 5K to attend the festival. Come cheer on friends, bring the family, and enjoy the day.
Music runs throughout the event, before and after the race and between classes.
Bring your running crew, your yoga community, or come solo. Come for the run, stay for the whole experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a wellness enthusiast, or just looking for a fun and uplifting way to spend your day, the Green Lake 5K & Wellness Festival is perfect for you.
