Seahawks 12K Run at The Landing on April 21:
Over 3,000 Runners from Across the Region Expected to Participate
RENTON: The 2013 Seahawks 12K Run at The Landing is coming up on Sunday, April 21, 2013! The
Seahawks 12K Run will start and finish at The Landing, run along the southeast shore of Lake
Washington and offer participants a unique opportunity to run around the Seahawks training facility,
the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
The event will also feature the GLOW 5K Run/Walk that will tour The Landing and surrounding Rento n
neighborhoods, as well as the Seahawks Play 60 Half-Mile Kids Run that will be completely contained
within The Landing and not part of the public right-of-way. The Seahawks 12K Run at The Landing will
collect donations on behalf of A Better Seattle (ABS). Led by Head Coach Pete Carroll and the Seattle

reducing violence in our communities.
