No Foolin' — April 1 Seahawks 12K Means Morning Road Closures

No foolin' — the 2012 Seahawks 12K Run will take place at The Landing on Sunday, April 1.

The run will start at 9 a.m. at The Landing. Participants will run along the southeast shore of Lake Washington, offer runners a unique opportunity to run around the Seahawks training facility, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, and then finish back at The Landing.

The event will also feature the GLOW 5K Run/Walk that will also start at 9 a.m. and tour The Landing and surrounding Renton neighborhoods, as well as the Seahawks Play 60 Kids Run that starts at 10:30 a.m. 

The Seahawks 12K Run is a fundraiser for A Better Seattle (ABS).
