The Pop Tart Run is a pretense for eating pop tarts 5K run taking place on Saturday, January 2nd at Marymoor Park to celebrate the beloved toaster pastry, descended from a long and proud line of strudel desserts and transformed by the engine of American capitalism into it’s current iconic mylar-enveloped iconic iteration.

The run will be chip timed and every participate will receive a two-pack of Pop Tarts and a finisher’s medal. Toasters are not included.

Registration costs $30 until November 30th and is then $35. Dogs and strollers are not allowed. We will be following all of our Covid-19 prevention measures. The race is capped at 300 participants.

There will be no pre-race or in-person packet pickup. All bib numbers will be mailed out to participants.  

The race starts at 9am. Because participants will start in small waves, we’ll be starting runners from 9am to noon. Your start time will be assigned to you one week prior and will be based upon your estimated finish time.

Due to popular demand we have added a virtual option to the Pop Tart Run. Run or walk a 5K between January 1st and January 4th, and post to social media with the hashtag #poptartrun to be eligible for prizes!  All participants will receive a medal and a box of Pop Tarts directly to your doorstep.
