* New * "While You Race" Childcare (11:00 am - 1:35 pm)
St. Francis Church
If you want to run the 5K but your kids aren't ready for that level of suffering, consider checking your kids into "While You Race" Childcare at the family race start line. You can then run the first 2 miles of the 5K to the Family Race Start, grab your kids and run then run the Family Race together. Child care provided by St. Francis Parish, extra fee may be involved.
YOU MUST CHECK OUT YOUR CHILD BEFORE FINISHING THE 5K. It is not intended that runners finish the run and then return to claim their children. Due to the tight schedule, this service is for families with children who plan to run the Family Race.
If you do the math, you'll need to be able to run the first 2 miles in 30 minutes to pickup your child in time for the Family Race. Shuttle from the finish line, will stop drop you at St. Francis to check in your kids. Then you can re-board the shuttle to be taken to the 5K start line (the Cove).
Finish Line Irish Festival (1:00 - 5 pm)
Burien Towne Square
You can enjoy the whole show from the beer garden (or free root beer garden for the kiddies). Mick Kelly's will be serving up traditional Irish grub outside in the square (as well as inside the pub).
Mick Kelly's Beer Garden 1-5 pm
Goodie Gumdrops Rootbeer Garden 1-5 pm
Mick Kelly's Irish Comfort Food 1-5 pm outside, late as you like inside the pub.
A very lively Irish band will be bringing you the old favorite but keeping you hopping.
Demonstration of traditional step dancing from Burien's own Irish Dance academy. After performing a few numbers, join the pros for a free lesson (all welcome, young and old alike).
