About Our Race
The Burien Brat Trot was developed in 2009 as a way to gather the community together, Octoberfest style, for an afternoon of exercise followed by a celebration. In the spirit of community the Brat Trot also raises critical funds for two local non-profits Safe Kids King County South and WestSide Baby. Both organizations support injury prevention through education and access by providing needy families with essentials such as car seats and cribs. The brainchild of Tin Room owner Danny House also Dan the Sausageman the race raised nearly $25,000 in 2009 and equally important drew more than 700 people together for a day of fun and festivities.
The 5K race begins on 152nd widely circling Lake Burien and finishes to cheering crowds around the corner of 10th and back onto 152nd. 2010 brings the addition of a 1 mile+ "Seize the Sausage" race perfect for kids and adults alike looking for a shorter venue. Runners can dash out, grab their Bratton and race back to the same finish line as those in the 5K.
5K Individual Race
This 5K course is generally flat with few even slight grades. Runners will be primarily on blacktop with a bit of gravel and grass. Race is clearly marked with live hand wavers to keep you on the course and trained flaggers and police officers at busy intersections. Runners can expect a nice run through neighborhoods with glimpses of beautiful Lake Burien and other parts of our charming city. Timing is chip-driven and provided by BuDu Racing.
