Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 SEATTLE

Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 SEATTLE runs in Seattle, Washington, on November 14, 2026, with the 13.1-mile half marathon, the 10K, the 5K and a 1-mile family fun run all starting at 7:30 a.m. Timing is optional, the number of places is limited, and each finisher takes home a gift bag containing a race shirt and a medal.

Entrants may fundraise for a charity of their choice, and the day is designed around camaraderie across all levels of ability. For Pacific Northwest runners, a November half is often the last road event before winter training turns into steady, unglamorous base miles, which is a good reason to take it seriously: build for 14 to 16 weeks, run one long run a week, and race it. If you would rather keep something in reserve, the 10K delivers a hard effort in half the time.
