The Annual Running of the Beaver 5K Fun Run and Walk
In partnership with our friends at the Ballard Athletic Booster Club and returning sponsors Anchor QEA, we are looking forward to another exciting Running of the Beavers event, Saturday, March 22, at Golden Gardens! Enjoy a fast or leisurely start at 9:30 a.m. race day with Bucky the Beaver. You’ll also love the spirit of the Ballard Pep Band during warm ups, and the encouragement by the Cheer Squad members at the start and finish.
The Running of the Beavers is a 5K Fun Run & Walk sponsored by the Ballard High School Foundation. Proceeds raised in the Running of the Beavers directly benefit Ballard High School Athletics, Cheer, Dance, & Performing Arts.
The run starts and finishes at beautiful Golden Gardens Park, going right along the Ballard waterfront on Seaview Avenue. You’ll enjoy stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains on this fast, flat course. The finish will take you right by the famous Beaver Pond at Golden Gardens. Escape the city as you run/walk along the shores of Puget Sound and help raise funds for the Ballard High School Foundation.
