Pirate running fun!
About the race
Eight years of swash-buckling running fun.
Pre-game Halloween with your best pirate costume while running up a storm on your home turf! Captain Jack’s Treasure Run has been bringing you oodles of swash-buckling running fun for 8 years in a row.
We’ve got three distances — 5K, 8K and 12K — for you to choose from, all of them out and back on the beautiful Sammamish River Trail. There’s a kids race too, so the whole crew can join in.
All participants receive a finisher’s medal, a Captain Jack’s race shirt (excluding the kids race) and free photo downloads.
The Course
An out and back on the beautiful Sammamish River Trail, heading north from the start.
Two aid stations, each passed twice, stocked with GU gels and Tailwind Electrolytes.
An out and back on the Sammamish River Trail, also heading north from the start.
One aid station, passed twice, stocked with GU gels and Tailwind Electrolytes.
An out and back on the Sammamish River Trail — this is the one distance that heads south from the start rather than north.
There is no aid station on the 5K course, so bring something to drink if you’d like it.
We have a fun kids race! It starts at 9:45am and both starts and finishes at the grown-up race start/finish area. The course is approximately 1/3 mile long, and every kid receives a finisher’s medal.
All Orca races are cupless — bring a handheld or grab a small reusable folding cup at the start.

Race morning, from 8:30am
Saturday, October 24th, 11:00am – 2:00pm — Road Runner Sports Bellevue
The 12K has 2 aid stations, each of which you pass twice. The 8K has one aid station, passed twice. The 5K does not have an aid station. Aid stations are stocked with GU gels and Tailwind Electrolytes.Orca Running is committed to reducing waste and protecting the environment, so all of our events are cupless — those tiny little cups are used for an instant and generate tremendous amounts of garbage. We recommend you bring a handheld bottle or a hydration pack, or we can provide you with a small re-usable cup that folds easily into your waistband.
Overall awards go to the top 3 male, female and non-binary runners based on gun time rather than chip time, so start near the front. We also give out age group awards in 5-year increments. We do not mail out awards after the race — they must be picked up on the day.
The course closes at 12:30 PM
First off, don’t forget to carpool! There is a large parking garage located at 8711 160th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052.
There is no parking at Redmond City Hall or the Redmond Library. There are, however, plenty of other options for parking in downtown Redmond, all within a 5–10 minute walk of the start.
