Winter Pineapple Classic 2008

Thanks to Jen for the reminder! This event crept up on me, so apologies for not mentioning it earlier.

from the official site:

Aloha! The Winter Pineapple Classic is a 5k run with obstacles along the course followed by a Hawaiian luau. The 5K course challenges teams to navigate a series of obstacles and physical challenges that participants will not know until race day. That's only part of the fun.

All participants are invited to celebrate at the post-race Hawaiian luau. Thanks to NW Construction, we will turn an old airplane hangar in to an indoor beach complete with sand! We will round out our luau with roasted pig, vegetarian sides dishes prepared by the Kauai Family Restaurant, Hawaiian entertainment led by Aunty Manu, and a beer garden hosted by Georgetown Brewing Company. Bring your flip flops, beach chairs, and beach towels to enjoy the festivities!

The event, designed for teams of two or four, is open to anyone aged 12 and over at any fitness level. If you need teammates, register as an individual and we'll assign you teammates. All proceeds go toward The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's mission to fund cancer research and assist patients and families fighting blood cancers.

Join us for an event that will bring out the aloha spirit in you!


The run will take place on the morning of Sunday the 16th of November at Warren G. Magnuson Park. The first wave of participants starts at 10 am and continues every 10 minutes thereafter.
