The Edmonds 4th of July 5K

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or just looking for a fun, healthy way to start your Independence Day, this event is for you! Stick around after the race to enjoy the Edmonds 4th of July Parade and keep the celebration going. We are changing it up a bit this year and while there is still a chance to beat Ol’ Man Brackett, the focus is more on the parade and community fun. All proceeds benefit the Chamber's programming and bringing great events to Edmonds. 

The 5K is timed and prizes are given for the top three runners in each gender and first place finisher in each age category. Winners will be recognized and prizes given shortly after the end of the race finish. View the 5K route here.

Shirt sizes are not guaranteed if you register after June 10th. 

The 1K Family Run is a fun and exciting race for the whole family. $5 for kids 13 and under. $10 for participants over 13. Price does not include a shirt, but you can add one on at the time of registration. The 1K is untimed. 

The Senior Saunter is a special 1K for all our active seniors! Bring your friends and take part at your own pace for this enjoyable distance. The 1K is untimed. 

Start for both races is at Edmonds City Park and Finish line is at 4th and Main. 

The 5K race route winds through the scenic streets of Edmonds and the Town of Woodway, culminating in a thrilling finish right on the Edmonds 4th of July parade route, where crowds cheer you on! The 1K distances head straight to the parade route from City Park!

Think you’re fast? Try to beat Ol’ Man Brackett!

For those speedier runners, a beloved element of the old Edmonds 5K, you can still race against a costumed runner portraying one of Edmonds' legendary founders, Ol’ Man Brackett—if you are the first 50 people, in the 5K, to beat him to the finish line, you’ll earn bragging rights for the year and a prize to prove it!
