Get My PERKS

Give yourself the gift of health and celebrate the winter holidays at the Puget Sound’s premier longer distance holiday run. The 12K's of Christmas Holiday Run takes place in Kirkland, Washington and consists of a 7.46 mile 12K run/walk, a 3.1 mile 5K run/walk, a free 1K kids dash and a finish line festival with exhibitor booths and a spiced wine and winter beer garden. Over 3,000 participants are expected. The event is a fundraiser for the Sleep Country Foster Kids non-profit.

The 12K’s of Christmas Holiday Run starts and finishes in Kirkland’s Marina Park on the shore of Lake Washington. The course routes for both the 12K and 5K events use the city streets of Kirkland and include plenty of scenery along the shores of Lake Washington as well as parts through the decorated streets of downtown Kirkland.
