Runners can choose to complete one loop (approximately 2.8 miles) or two loops (for the 10K distance). The route offers pleasant views of the water and surrounding parkland, made even more festive by the holiday lights and the glowing gear worn by fellow participants during this evening event. According to the [official course map](https:\/\/www.strava.com\/routes\/3194748258463864510), the elevation gain is minimal, making it an accessible run for all levels.<\/p>\n<h3>What Makes It Special<\/h3>\n<p>This event stands out for its post-race celebration where runners can enjoy a variety of cookies from some of Seattle\u2019s best bakeries. Participants are encouraged to run in their best holiday attire, and every finisher receives a unique light-up medal to commemorate their achievement. Beyond the fun, the race supports [Mary\u2019s Place Seattle](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/electric-cookie-run\/), an organization that provides shelter and essential services for families experiencing homelessness in the community.<\/p>\n<h3>Race Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Seattle, WA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distances:<\/strong> 5K, 10K<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next Race Date:<\/strong> 2026-12-05<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Race Weekend Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Early packet pickup is typically held the Friday before the race at Road Runner Sports in Bellevue, while race-day pickup is available at the Seattle location near the park. Parking is available on the streets around Green Lake, but it is highly recommended to arrive early as spots fill up quickly in this popular area. Since the race is held in December, participants should prepare for cold or wet Pacific Northwest weather and bring warm layers for the post-race cookie celebration. Picking up your packet early or before 3:00 PM on race day may also enter you into a raffle for gift cards, as noted on the [official site](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/electric-cookie-run\/).<\/p>\n<h3>Register<\/h3>\n<p>Ready to sign up?
