P3 Running and West Seattle Runner are excited to bring Track Friday back to West Seattle! Track Friday is a community-based movement to mobilize people to support charitable giving. Participants run laps on a nearby track to raise awareness and funds for causes that they care about. Track Friday is held the day after Thanksgiving to encourage people to reunite with old and new friends, burn off some Thanksgiving Day calories, and put a little love and giving spirit back into a day that has become synonymous with commercialism.
Michele Pettinger, the founder of P3 Running, is raising money for the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation as her mom is living with the disease. Her friend, Fes Naqvi who learned of Track Friday last year, became involved and is raising money for The Butterfly Fund, a non-profit that helps families who have children (0-18) who have a catastrophic life altering medical condition or event.
We understand that you may have a charity that you feel strongly about, so you are able to fundraise for your chosen charity on Track Friday as well! You can do so by simply joining the West Seattle Track Friday 2018 Team.
We will be at Hiawatha Track and Playfield the morning after Thanksgiving from 9 to 11. Invite your friends and family to join - walk 1 mile, 10 minutes, 10 miles, 2 hours, whatever you feel driven to do!
Or join the Lap-a-Thon!
The Details:
We are incorporating a Lap-a-Thon; inspired by Jesse Hulsizer who will be seeing how many laps he can run from 9AM to 11AM and is inviting others to join in running and/or donating. Here are the details:
Please sign up for the Lap-a-Thon when you arrive.
There will be a West Seattle Runner Gift Certificate for the person who runs the most laps.
Michele will donate $1/lap for the person who runs the most laps.
Individuals can donate per lap for a specific runner or for the “Most Laps Run” by any runner.
Those people donating .50cents+ per lap for the “Most Laps Run” are invited to guess what the “Most Laps Run” will be and the person closest will also win a GC!
Any Lap-A-Thon donations will be divided between our two charities; NW Parkinson's Foundation and TheButterflyFund.org.
We will have hot chocolate, coffee (donated by The Admiral Bird!), and some treats, too.
For anyone who participates in the event, 10% of your purchases at West Seattle Runner that day will be donated to the funds. Simply pick up a token from our table at the park to present at the store when purchasing.
