About the Event

Due to President Trump's tariffs, we have been forced to raise our prices. We've done our best to offset the increase without fully passing it on to our participants.

BE PART OF THE LEGION OF BLOOM!

Come run, walk, stroll, or crawl with us through Seward Park and along South Lake Washington Boulevard, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of cherry blossoms.

MARCH 22: 5K & 10K
MARCH 23: HALF-MARATHON

Please note 2025 will offer 5K, 10K, and Half-Marathon runs. There will be no Marathon in 2025, but we are pushing hard for 2026!

Seward Park is where Seattle’s cherry blossom story began. Back in 1929, it became home to the city’s first cherry trees—a gift from Japan symbolizing friendship. This year’s route is packed with incredible views of these iconic blooms. The half marathon stretches along Lake Washington, while the 5k and 10k wind through the park’s lush, scenic paths.

Cross the finish line under our signature inflatable arch and celebrate spring in full bloom!

Let’s bloom together in this exciting new chapter. We can’t wait to see you there!

About Seattle

Seattle, Washington sits at one of the most beautiful spots in the United States. Occupying a narrow isthmus between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington, it is the biggest city in the Pacific Northwest, with 780,000 people in Seattle and over four million people in the metro area. Seen from above, carpets of evergreen trees, pristine blue waters, and snowy white mountains surround the downtown's metallic skyscrapers, earning the city its nickname The Emerald City.
