About

The Emerald City 5k is a 5K (3.1-mile) run or walk in Seattle, where the lively spirit of the Emerald City meets the magic of Oz. Runners line up at Gas Works Park at 9:00 a.m. on August 15, 2027, for a fun, high-energy course.

Every participant receives a bib with timing chip, a custom medal (while supplies last) and professional race photos. A special post-race ticket can be redeemed for face painting, coffee or cookie dough. Free snacks await at the finish, and pizza is available from the food truck (cash only).
