We're BACK with Loop The ‘Lupe, Seattle's best 5K obstacle course fun run! This event will take place at Walt Hundley Playfield in West Seattle on Saturday, June 3rd. Here's what's in store for 2023:
The "Loop" is a 1K course looping Walt Hundley Playfield. On each lap (or "loop"), you'll face 7 different obstacles (NEW: 9 for our Elite Wave) including tires, walls, mud pits and more. All participants will complete the loop 5 times to complete their 5K race! We're still updating the course map, so check back for more details soon!
Each participant gets one of our slick, ready-to-race tech shirts, this year in men's and women's sizes! REGISTER to get yours today--and thanks for some great design work from Susie Perry Designs! Remember, T-SHIRT SIZES MAY BE LIMITED FOR REGISTRANTS AFTER MAY 15, SO SIGN UP RIGHT AWAY!
Check out our Loop the 'Lupe finisher medal, designed by Stride Awards, featuring a "mud"-spattered ribbon and a ROTATING foot logo, courtesy Susie Perry Designs! This award is for all finishers in all events (Obstacle Course, Fun Run, Senior Saunter and Youth Dash), and we think the updated 2023 design is awesome!
We have plenty of prizes for our winners! Prize decisions will be made by Loop the 'Lupe, and all decisions are final. Winners for in-person races will pick up prizes after results are tabulated on June 3rd at Walt Hundley Playfield. Virtual prize winners will be contacted via email. Here's what you're in the running for:
