Thank You For Another Successful & Fun Running of the Beavers
Summary : 6th Annual Running of the Beavers 5K Walk/Run March 22, 2025.
Ballard HS Foundation 6th Annual Running of the Beavers Community 5K Run/Walk
Event Details March 22, 2025
The Event begins at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 22 at beautiful Golden Gardens Park. Take a relaxing walk, leisurely jog, or a brisk run while enjoying the incomparable views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains along the mostly flat course on Seaview Avenue.
Everyone who registers gets a t-shirt and in the drawing and they don’t have to be present to win. Bib pickup day info: Friday March 21 from 4-7 p.m. first floor school lobby at BHS. You can also pick up Bib race day but it’s convenient to have it the day before. People can bring nonperishable food donations for Ballard Food Bank at that time (or on race day too).
Sponsored by the Ballard High School Foundation, in partnership with the Athletic Booster Club (ABC), the Running of the Beavers also serves as a fundraiser for Ballard Athletics, Performing Arts, Cheer or Dance. The Pep Band will perform during warm ups and socializing, while the Cheer Team will inspire you as you follow Bucky out of the starting gate, pass the midway point, circle around Beaver Pond, and head for the finish line.
Pick which team or program you’d like your ticket proceeds to go to. (Teams and programs receive 70 percent of registration fees, as a result of the race administration costs.) Adult ticket prices, now at $35/participant, go up another $5 starting March 1, so now’s the perfect time to sign up.
Are you a Ballard student or teacher? Sign up for only $20/participant! (Staff discount code is available in the Main Office.) Also, the grade level with the most participation gets $500 for their ASB class account! Last year’s senior class won, using their money to help pay for prom expenses.
