RUNNING OF THE BEAVERS 5K FUN RUN & walk! march 22, 2025
We love to partner with the Ballard High School Foundation for the Running of the Beavers 5K Fun Run and Walk at Golden Gardens, and this year was no exception. More than 350 Beaver supporters enjoyed a lovely jaunt along Seaview Avenue, March 22, with classic Ballard sites including a sailboat race on the Sound, polar bear plungers, volleyball rallies, families enjoying the stretch of beachfront, and sweet pups on leash too. The Pep Band got the crowd pumped and the Cheer Team encouraged runners at the beginning and toward the finish line. Emcee (BHS teacher and Activities Coordinator) Laura Lehni shared shout outs, while Bucky posed for photo ops and lead the runners for a few paces at the start. Our food sponsors outdid themselves with Duke’s clam chowder, Grocery Outlet fresh produce and water bottles, Scandinavian Specialties lefse, and Smith Brothers chocolate and regular milk chugs at the finish. Beneficiaries were Ballard Athletics, Band, Cheer and Dance. We’re happy to report that more than $9,500 will be disbursed to these designated recipients. THANK YOU, Beaver community! The Freshmen class also earned $500 for their class account with the most participants! Congratulations! Full event recap
