29th Annual SpiritWalk & Warrior Run

Welcome to the 29th annual SpiritWalk & Warrior Run, in partnership with Brooks Running! Start warming up now for a day of fun and community. Your participation will show your support to ensure Native people continue to thrive on Native land in the Seattle area.  

On October 18, we’ll gather at Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center. If you’re an avid runner, join our 5K trail run — the only one allowed in Discovery Park. See if you can break your PR!

Prefer a more leisurely pace? Sign up for our free 1.25-mile walk and catch up with friends you haven’t seen in a while. Wind down with us over a mouthwatering lunch, available for a $15 donation, provided by chef Jeremy Thunderbird of Native Soul Cuisine.

Proceeds from SpiritWalk & Warrior Run will fund projects that increase access to culturally attuned care.  

Sign up now!
