Parking information and public transportation
Free street parking is available. Limited on-campus parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The UW Central Plaza Parking Garage is close to registration and the start line, with an entrance on 15th Avenue NE and NE 41st Street. Additional parking is available in the Padelford Parking Garage, directly south of McMahon Hall. Please obey all posted signs and do not park on the 10K or 5K course routes. We highly recommend carpooling, King County Metro Transit or Sound Transit light rail.
Gear check
Participant items can be stored at the designated gear check area. Event officials and volunteers will not be responsible for items such as wallets, keys, cell phones, iPods, etc.
Strollers
Your child can join you — jogging strollers are welcome! Although the 5K is more stroller- and dog-friendly, strollers are allowed on both routes.
Dogs welcome
Alaska Airlines Dawg Dash is a dog-friendly event. Bowls of water can be found at the on-course water station as well as at the finish line. Please keep your dogs on a leash at all times and be respectful to those around you.
Post-Dash Bash
Celebrate with your friends, family and fellow participants at the Post-Dash Bash. KEXP will be on hand to spin some tunes, there will be plenty of fun giveaways for Dawgs and dogs, and doughnuts. Everybody loves doughnuts.
Husky Pups Run
Kids 10 & under love this short run with Harry the Husky during the Post-Dash Bash. Kids running in this free event receive a ribbon for participating. Kids shirts are available for $10.
Shirts
The first 4,000 registrants will receive a free, commemorative Brooks running shirt with the Alaska Airlines Dawg Dash design. Show your workout buddies that you helped support UW student scholarships — and look good doing it.
Medals
What’s better than running the Dawg Dash? Having a commemorative medal to show off afterwards! Please note: Due to unforeseen transit issues, we are sad to report that racer medals will not arrive in time for the big day. Medals will be mailed to participants in November.
Volunteering
Our volunteer registration is now closed. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to volunteer! We’ll see you on Sunday!
