## About

The Pacific Northwest flagship holiday marathon weekend kicks off on Thanksgiving Saturday with the beloved Seattle Kids Marathon and Family 5K! Young runners complete a cumulative marathon over the autumn months, concluding with an electric 1.2-mile victory lap past the Space Needle and across the Seattle Center grounds to cross the official finish line.\n\nFamilies and stroller runners can participate together in the Seattle Marathon Family 5K along scenic Puget Sound waterfront corridors with roaring spectator crowds and holiday music. Every registered child receives an official Seattle Marathon finisher medal, personalized bib, commemorative race t-shirt, and finish-line celebration treats. Post-race activities inside the Seattle Center Armory feature mascot meet-and-greets, face painting, and family wellness exhibits.
