EX3 Teen Center hosting 10K/5K

Runners, walkers and youngsters are invited back to Sammamish and the Boys and Girls Clubs of King County’s EX3 Teen Center on Sunday, May 5 for the second annual 10K/5K, the only of their kind with routes exclusively in Sammamish.

Last year’s inaugural event served as both a fundraiser for the new Teen Center as well as a way to create awareness for kids and adults in the area and the club hopes to better the number that signed up in 2012.

“It was really exciting to see,” he said. “There was a ton of positive feedback and it was a lot of fun for the families.” Along with the 10K and 5K, there will be a 1K for kids age 10 and under.

Registration prices vary and are available online and in-person at Plateau Runner, located in the Saffron shopping center across from EX3. The 10K run starts at 7:30 a.m., with the 5K 15 minutes later and the youth fun run at 8:45.

An awards ceremony will follow and the Teen Center will also host booths related to healthy living, running, walking and other outdoor activities.
