Issaquah Rotary's Annual Salmon Days Run "Run with the Fishes"

On Sunday, October 6th, 2013, Salmon Days weekend, Issaquah Rotary is hosting it's annual run for charity.  Everyone is invited to participate in the 5K Run/Walk or the Kids Dash. 

Whether you want to run (timing chips will be provided), walk or just want to stroll--get everyone involved and come out for a really fun event.  Event proceeds benefit local charities supported by the Issaquah Rotary Foundation (501c3).

On Race Day join us at 7:30AM near Sports Authority located at 1185 NW Gilman Blvd at the corner of Gilman Blvd and 12th Avenue NW. If you want to participate and have not registered there will be an option to register the day of the race beside the Sports Authority location. Participants who register the day of the race are not guaranteed our event designed technical running shirt.

At 9:00AM the 5K Run/Walk begins and at 10:30AM is the Kids Dash.

There will be a post event celebration.

The race course is flat and winds through the beautiful town of Issaquah. Miles are clearly marked and water stations are available along the course.   Unofficial results will be posted near the finish line.  Official results will be posted on the event and Rotary websites as well as Facebook for those who want to share with their friends.
