8th Annual UW Bothell Husky 5K
Saturday, May 11, 2013
Bothell, WA
2013 marks the 8th anniversary of the UW Bothell 5K Run‑Walk! This growing race is expected to host 700‑750 runners and walkers, and over 1,200 people on campus! The event features not only the 5K Run-Walk through campus and downtown Bothell, but also the Cascadia Pups and Cubs 1K. There will be music, family-oriented attractions like face painting and a bouncy house, a complimentary breakfast directly after the race, prizes and giveaways for participants, and friendly faces at our sponsor booths!
All proceeds from the race benefit UW Bothell student scholarships. The run is one of the only events in the area devoted to this ever-increasingly important cause, and is proud to support students in their endeavors to continue their education in more difficult economic times.
