Before tomorrow’s 80th annual West Seattle Grand Parade – it’s the 2nd annual Float Dodger 5K along part of the parade route! Three updates this morning:

PACKET PICKUP TODAY AND LAST CHANCE TO SAVE ON REGISTRATION: Online registration has closed but you can sign up at West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor and Float Dodger presenter) today for $30 – otherwise, it’s $35 on race day. Beneficiaries are the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Rotary Club of West Seattle‘s community-service programs. If you’ve already registered, you can pick up your packet today and avoid the race-day lines – 3 to 8 pm. (WS Runner is on the 2nd floor of Charlestown Center, northwest corner oF California/Charlestown.)

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED ON RACE DAY: Race director Ilana Balint from Run For Good Racing Company says volunteers are still needed – can you help? Go here and enter your e-mail address to see what they need help with and, if you’re interested, sign up on the spot.

PRIZES! This isn’t just a “hey, you won, you have bragging rights” 5K. There’s a variety of prizes for costumes, age groups, even for coming in last. Tim McConnell from WS Runner shared the latest list with us:

See you at the race – 9:45 am Saturday, California/Charlestown.

    god lord, there are even strollers IN marathons now?

      This isn’t a marathon, only a 5K. I’ve seen people pushing running strollers in 5Ks for as long as we’ve been covering them (six years now).

    Love the Float Dodger! Set a personal record for 5K last year. Hoping to smash that this year. Maybe I will be too fast for the average Joe award!

Sorry, comment time is over.
