The Burien Brat Trot 5K and 1 mile family race has become one of Burien’s favorite local events.

All day long on Sunday, Oct. 7 revelers will enjoy an Oktoberfest style party complete with beer, great food, music and zany fun centered around the Burien Brat Trot 5K and 1 mile races.

The 5k race begins promptly at 1p.m. at the corner of 10th Avenue Southwest and Southwest 152nd Street in Olde Burien. The 1-mile family race begins promptly at 1:40 p.m. at Lake Burien School Park, 14640 18th Ave. S.W.

Online registration closes Thursday Oct 4 at midnight.

But in person registration will still be taken on Saturday at packet pick up between noon and 5 p.m. in Olde Burien, and on Sunday before the race.

The race benefits two important local organizations—the Highline Schools Foundation, which gathers community resources to support the 18,000 public school students in the Highline School District, and Safe Kids King South King County under the direction of Seattle Children’s, which supports injury prevention through education and access.

The 5K race begins in Olde Burien, circles Lake Burien and finishes to cheering crowds in front of The Tin Room Bar and Grill. The one-mile race starts at Lake Burien School Park and also finishes in the heart of the festivities. Free shuttles will be provided between the two race starts.

At the finish line, there will be a festival the Brat Trot Crew is calling “Bavarianfest.” It features the Three Tree Point Blues Band on the Mainstage and the band “Goofy Foot” on the Kid’s Stage.

Bavarianfest will feature three beer gardens this year and some food vendors including sausage from Dan the Sausageman, and plenty of other food options.

Enjoy the Brat Trot Kid’s Area complete with a bouncy toy, art activities, face painting, and kid-only giveaways. Brat Trot knit caps, t-shirts and even hot dog costumes will be for sale.
