Join us for the Annual Independence Day 5K on July 4th for a fun and FAST 5K! This event features a fast point-to-point course that takes runners and walkers from the top of Tacoma and finishes at beautiful Point Ruston . The 5K is a chip timed race on a fast, flat and downhill course starting at N 37th St & N Vassault St in Tacoma , close to Vassault Park , and finishing at the newly renovated Owen Beach at Pt. Defiance Park . While this is a speedy course for fast runners, it also is a fun course for a power walk before your Independence Day barbecue! Everybody is welcome to participate! The Owen Beach finish line is also where the Kids 1K will start at 9:15 am. The kid’s run is an out-and-back, so the runners can cross the official finish line as well!
