Run Scared - Seattle

Run Scared - Seattle is held in Seattle, Washington, on October 25, 2026, with three distances to choose from: a 10K over 6.2 miles, a 5K over 3.1 miles, and a 2-mile event. Start times are not listed. Each can be run or walked, there is a virtual option, and a free children's race is part of the day.

Three distances on one morning means you can match the race to where your training actually is: the 2-miler for a first bib or a short sharp effort, the 5K for speed, and the 10K if you have been running consistently and want something that rewards endurance. Entrants receive a race shirt, a finisher gift, and Halloween treats, or you can take the greener route and decline the shirt in exchange for a tree planted in your name, with a certificate, GPS coordinates, and a photograph of it. Proceeds support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
