Event Description

The 10th annual Run for Rett 5K Run, 5K walk, and Kids Dash takes place on a scenic course along Capitol Lake. It begins at the Tumwater Historical Park and utilizes the trails in the park and along the lake for a beautiful run or walk. There is only one hill up with a gradual hill down on an otherwise flat and fast course. You finish the last half mile running along the lake with music & cheers motivating you to cross the finish line.  The event supports the Northwest Rett Syndrome Foundation, a local organization for families who have children with Rett Syndrome.

The 5K Run and 5K Walk will follow the same course.  The run will be chip timed and the walk will be untimed.
