Sunday, October 1, 2017: Brat Trot 5K & 1 Mile Family Race

Both courses begin at the corner of 10th Ave SW and SW 152nd Street in Olde Burien and finish right where they started. The 5k takes you on a great jaunt around Lake Burien and past Lake Burien Park. The one-mile course is a fun out-and-back—heading the same direction as the 5k (south on 10th) and then turns around at the mid-point–ending right back where it started! Don’t miss the after-race festivities at the Brat Trot Bavarian Fest! The best street party around! The 5K race begins promptly at 1 p.m., and the 1-mile race begins at 2 p.m. There’s more to Burien Brat Trot than just running – check out the calendar below for dates and times of all the weekend events:

Check in at the Tin Room between 6 – 7 p.m. where you will receive: a pub crawl T-shirt (one per person!) and your “crawling” orders! (where to go, how it works, etc.). Teams can be as little as two people – no maximum! The crawl starts and ends at the Tin Room. Spend an enjoyable evening visiting the designated B-Town “crawl stops” where you will endure challenges (easy and fun – we promise!), earn points and have a blast!
