There is no Waterfront 5k in Seattle next weekend. That appears to have been a one-off event for the grand opening of the Waterfront Park. There is a phony site for a Waterfront Marathon that has been going around. It is a known scam and is just trying to steal money. West Seattle Runner, which was listed as a sponsor, has denied any connection to the event. This article was published in The Stranger.

The new year is upon us. 2026 is planned to be our biggest year yet. There are more series series races that should yield more finishers than ever before. The Super Athlete program is growing in popularity. I hope to see an increase in our Ambassador numbers. Iset a goal of 25 Ambassadors for 2026.
We need a new Chairman for the 5k TOP IO. Ed Heckard is stepping down after serving for 10 years. Ed will start 2026 as usual and the first TOP IO will be published on March 1st. The new chairman will scan results each Monday for any new TOP IO 5k times. Only certified races, if any, need to be scanned. Once on the first of each month the Chairman will send changes, if any, to Bruce Fisher.
