Unleashed at Stadium Bowl - (253) 226-3135

Race the Stairs to Save a Rescue Animal!

WHAT?
On Sunday, August 3, 2015 participants have the choice of running in a pack (3 person teams) and/or as a lone wolf (individually) in competitive timed events or walking the stairs (untimed). When you participate in a pack, you still compete as an individual–the pack times are an aggregate of each individual’s time.

The race will cover the entire Stadium Bowl, ‘weaving the stairs’ by running up one staircase, and down the other. Total steps climbed 814, total descended 814 for a grand total of 1,628 steps.

New this year- 2 Laps (3,256 steps!)

All spectators will stay on the field.

WHY?
To raise money for the rescue animals of Kindred Souls Foundation. Kindred Souls Foundation provides sanctuary to abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats, a holistic approach to their care, and education on the rewards and responsibilities of animal companionship.

WHO?
Anyone 8 years or older. A parent waiver must be signed for anyone under 18 years old. Each participant under 18 must also have a parent/guardian/coach at the race to supervise and make medical related decisions on his/her behalf should that be necessary.

WHEN?

Stadium High School Bowl
111 N E Street

There is no online registration fee. Entry fees are non-refundable.

Pack Teams consist of three individuals and the team must be identified by July 27, 2015 in order to be considered for medals. Once you have registered online for the race, you will receive a registration confirmation email with instructions for registering your pack members names and team name. You can register your pack at anytime after you register as an individual, but no later than midnight July 27, 2015. Medals will be awarded to overall female pack, overall male pack, overall mixed pack, and overall High School pack.

Race day registration will be from 0800-0830 and will be $50/person. Onsite registration entry fees apply to all registering on the day of the race (i.e. no reduced fees for military or youth). T-shirts are not guaranteed for those who register onsite. Pack registration will not be taken on race day.

The race will begin following the national anthem at 0900 and will start with a cannon shot! Individuals will line up according to mile time (fastest to slowest) and leave on an interval of 15-20 seconds. Walkers will follow the last timed racer. Individual times have ranged from 10:30 to about 30 minutes for runners. To walk the bowl, plan on 30-45 minutes.

Soldiers racing Fire Fighters, racing Police Officers, racing Crossfit Gyms, racing YMCA groups, racing High School and College Athletes…sounds like fun! Year-Round Barking Rights for the winners!

Money raised from the race goes to the rescue animals of Kindred Souls Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization and Washington State registered charity.
