A 5K fun run benefiting Ballard Food Bank is planned for August in Ballard.
The Washington Brewery Running Series will host a “5K-ish” beer run at Lucky Envelope Brewing on Aug. 8. The event will start and finish at the brewery, taking participants through Ballard to the Ballard Locks and back.
According to event organizers, the run is open to runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and paces. The event is also family- and pet-friendly.
Ten percent of proceeds from the event will be donated to Ballard Food Bank.
Registration includes a finish-line beer from Lucky Envelope Brewing for participants who are 21 and older. Participants under 21 will receive a non-alcoholic token. Registration also includes a collector’s pint glass or Brewery Running Series swag item, a race bib, and an automatic raffle entry for prizes from local breweries and partners.
The event will take place at Lucky Envelope Brewing, located at 907 NW 50th St. Check-in opens at 10:30 a.m., and the run begins at 11 a.m.
Organizers say the event will take place rain or shine, and walk-up registrations will be accepted.
