I love summer holidays and any excuse for a parade in Seattle. Seafair has a variety of activities and event in the 2 months leading up to Seafair Weekend, or the first week in August. One of the events is the Torchlight run and parade in downtown. You can either run the 8k or the 5k, which are run on the Viaduct, and have GORGEOUS views of the harbor.

This was a good and bad race. Pro: awesome race, easy course an great views. Con: VERY poorly executed. Not only did they loose my bib number, but they were out of small shirts (which I pre-ordered) and I barely had time to get in line before the gun went off. I also had to hold my bib since there were no more safety pins. I also failed to get a good picture of the race.

Luckily the parade and Torchlight Party that I held later that night made up for it :)

Can you find me?
