The Seattle Marathon Association has teamed up with Seattle Center to bring the Seattle Marathon 10k Race: Presented by Next 50 Seattle Center. Held on Saturday, August 25th, this is the summer 10k race you've been waiting for. The race is being held in conjunction with and benefits the Seattle Center 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2012 and will be an event you won't want to miss.

In Seattle Marathon style, the 10k will start and end at Seattle Center, traveling through downtown Seattle, past Pike Place Market overlooking the waterfront piers before turning around to head onto the Alaskan Way viaduct. The course then heads north on Aurora through Queen Anne, turning back around and exiting at Mercer to finish near the International Fountain.
