Organiser's description

The 5K is a chip timed race on a fast, flat and downhill course starting at N. 37th & N Vassault St in Tacoma, close to Vassault Park, and finishing at the newly renovated Owen Beach at Pt Defiance Park. While this is a speedy course for fast runners, it also is a fun course for a power walk before your Independence Day barbecue! Everybody is welcome to participate!

The Owen Beach finish line is also where the Kids 1K will start at 9:15 am. The kids run is an out-and-back, so the runners can cross the official finish line as well!
