Run – Jump – Lift – Move

I am thrilled to announce our new Seat­tle Run Series point sys­tem. As a fit­ness trainer I’ve learned that every­one has dif­fer­ent goals and is inclined to go about them in dif­fer­ent ways. Some peo­ple are born to com­pete. Oth­ers reap the ben­e­fit from sim­ply show­ing up to exer­cise and doing it out­side in Seattle’s beau­ti­ful parks. Our new point sys­tem rewards every­one. As long as you show up you will be acknowl­edged at the end of the year.

Here is our new 9-Race Series Point Sys­tem: (You must enter one 3-Race Series to qual­ify): 25 points for each race you fin­ish + the first 10 places get the fol­low­ing points:(From 1st place to 10th place respec­tively) 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.

Prizes to be dis­trib­uted at the Novem­ber 10th Race:

Bronze Level — Any­one who accu­mu­lates 150 points: Seat­tle Run Series Logo Water Bottle

Sil­ver Level — Any­one who accu­mu­lates 200 points: Seat­tle Run Series Logo Fin­ger­less Run­ning gloves

Gold Level — Sin­gle most points accu­mu­lated: Seat­tle Run Series Logo Run­ning Jacket (If there is a tie, it will be bro­ken by the one who ran the most races. And if there is still a tie, it will be bro­ken by the sum of all that participant’s race times. Who­ever has the quick­est time wins.

Now we have 3 ways to reward par­tic­i­pants for their efforts:

1) Medals to over­all and age group win­ners at each race (for the speedy).

2) Most improved awards to four 3-Race Series win­ners in which there are three oppor­tu­ni­ties a year (for new run­ners who see results quickly and those that are inter­nally moti­vated who want to see improve­ments in their performance).

3) 9-Race Series par­tic­i­pa­tion. All you have to do is show up to six races to win some­thing. (These are for those that sim­ply like to exer­cise in Seattle’s beau­ti­ful parks, and do it again and again!)

If you’re try­ing, you WILL be rewarded for your efforts :)

I say to you this — Start now! Sign up for the Alki 3-Race Series. Resolve to be fit this year and be part of the FV gang.

  1. I just reg­is­tered for the June 9 10 K Alki Beach Race. I am not a run­ner and have never raced before in my life. I am very detail ori­en­tated how­ever. What should I know? How long is the race? What is the process? What do I need to do before hand? What do I need to bring with me? Thank you!

    • Wel­come! Pick up your bib and chip at 8 AM on the morn­ing of near the bath house. Be ready to run your 10k (6.2 miles) at 9 AM sharp. We start the race at 9 AM. Food after, and if you win a medal, stay until we present them, at approx­i­mately 10 AM. You can bring your receipt for just in case but usu­ally don’t need it. Most infor­ma­tion you need is at http://www.fitnessforvitality.com. Show up, we’ll guide you through it. If you have any other ques­tions let me know.

  2. Hi, I’m a lit­tle con­fused. Is this page only for mem­bers of a club or any­one who reg­is­ters? Also, is the $50 fee per race or for all three?
    Thanks!
