Run with the Fishes

Run with the Fishes The Run With the Fishes returns in 2025! The 45th 'Run with the Fishes' will take place at Lake Sammamish State Park on September 28.

After a couple of years hiatus, we are back with a new location, returning with a 10K in addition to the 5K fun run (and a 1K kids run!), as well as a beer garden and live music for celebrating afterwards! The event will feature not only 5K and 10K fun runs, there will be a beer garden, live music, and more as the runners return from the course, so plan to stick around! For the kids, there's a

1K fun run as well, sponsored (once again) by Arbor Schools. Oh, and for more fun, we're trying to set a record for most people running in a fish costume, so dress appropriately, or order one of our custom Fish Hats to run in, it should be a scream! Register Today to help keep this Issaquah tradition alive and vital, and support your local community non-profits working to make Issaquah a great place. Run with the Fishes is produced by the Issaquah Rotary Club. The Rotary Club of Issaquah is continually redefining itself through new members, new vision and activities, and new forms of local and global service. Our meetings are an informal gathering of friends who work together toward a common purpose – the betterment of our community and world. Rotary’s motto “Service Above Self” amply describes what Rotary is all about. Run with the Fishes and Rotary Club are committed to Healthy Kids and a Healthy Community.

Shout out to Big Block Brewing, who brought the Beer Garden to the Run with the Fishes yesterday! The run was awesome (photos to come) and the "after party" was so much fun as well! Here are The Waybacks entertaining folks as seen from Big Block's Beer Garden, where runners, spectators, and our volunteers hung out in the warm morning (thank you, universe, for such a great day) and re-hydrated!
