Let Me Run Fall 5K

Let Me Run Fall 5K takes place in Seattle, Washington, on November 14, 2026. The single event is the Let Me Run Fall Fest 5K, a 5K (3.1 miles) that starts at 10:00 a.m. The race is organized by Let Me Run, and the late-morning start gives you time to warm up properly before lining up.

This is the kind of 5K that suits runners of every level, from a first-ever race to a tempo effort inside a bigger training block. If it is your first 5K, aim to run the whole distance at a conversational pace and save any surge for the last few hundred yards. More experienced runners can use it as a fitness check: 3.1 miles at a hard, even effort is a reliable predictor of what you can do at 10K. A six-week plan with three runs a week, one of them including a few minutes at 5K effort, is plenty. Bring a layer you can shed before the start so you are not standing around cold and then overheating by the first mile.
