Some people love running. I am not one of those people, but if you are, or if you’d like to be, join the folks at Brooks Sports for a series of training runs that take place four consecutive Thursdays starting July 5 and ending July 26, just in time to have you ready for the Torchlight Run. Runners of all levels–walkers, too–meet up at Greenlake’s Super Jock’n'Jill (7210 E Greenlake Dr N) at 6pm each Thursday for a 2.8 mile around the loop, followed by free appetizers and prizes at the Greenlake Bar & Grill.

Even if you’re not a runner, you might want to make your way down to the Qwest Field area on July 28th at 6:30 pm; with an exciting race/walk that features a costume contest, a post-race party and over 300K spectators, the Torchlight Run is a fun time for everyone.
