Thanksgiving Day Apple Cup 5K

Thanksgiving Day Apple Cup 5K is a 5K held in Seattle, United States, in November. The distance is 3.1 miles, timed by chip, and it is open to runners and walkers alike. Strollers are welcome.

The route starts on the paved inner loop of Green Lake and runs counter-clockwise around the water. Near the end it leaves the path to circle the neighbouring playing fields, and the finish sits close to the basketball courts. The surface is flat and quick, which suits anyone chasing a personal best.

The event has a rivalry theme: entrants are invited to wear University of Washington Husky or Washington State University Cougar colours, or simply dress as a turkey. It supports local food shelters, and age categories run from children aged one up to over-sixties.
