Don't Forget: 10k/5k/Walk/Run Will Start Sunday

The will be Sunday, with both the 10-kilometer and five-kilometer runs to start and end at Downtown Park. A Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club fundraiser for Seattle Children's Autism Center and Kindering Center, the event starts at 8 a.m. Registration starts at 6:45 a.m.

Previously a 5K in the Crossroads neighborhood, the event expanded this year to include the 10K (6.2-mile) run. The 10K will be a loop through South Bellevue, with a long southbound leg paralleling I-405 along 114th, then 118th Avenue and a long northbound leg on 108th Avenue Southeast, then Bellevue Way. The 5K runs south along 112th Avenue, then returns northward to the park via Bellevue Way. There is also a "Kids' Dash." 

All Enatai area residents (west of Bellevue Way and south of Downtown Bellevue) planning to travel to and from outside the neighborhood between 8 and 9:30 a.m. Sunday should take northbound 100th Ave SE/Killarney Way to NE 4th Street, as this will be the only way to access the neighborhood without significant delays, according to a mailing sent out to neighborhood residents.

Runners can still register at the race. Registration is $35 for the day of the race for adults. Participation in the kids' 1k Dash is $10.

The City of Bellevue is a cosponsor of this event, along with Overlake Hospital, Starbucks, the YMCA, Brooks Running, The Microsoft Store, Lingenbrink, Slalom Consulting, Escape Outdoors and Eagle.
