About Bank to Bay

In 2000, KeyBank and the City of Tacoma developed Bank to Bay as a means to showcase the growth and development of downtown Tacoma and to promote good health, family fun, and community spirit.

Bank to Bay is an event that offers something for everyone, from runners and walkers, to wheelchair athletes, to kids and families alike. The USATF certified 10K/5K course is fast paced, offers terrific views, and includes live music. There’s free food and beverages, wellness activities including massages and skin cancer screenings, and all registered participants are eligible to win great prizes that are given out during the Award Ceremony. Bank to Bay was even labeled as one of the premier races in the Northwest in the 2006 NW Runner magazine.

The goal of Bank to Bay is to continue providing a premier event that promotes running, walking, and healthy living while showcasing all the positive changes being made in Tacoma, all while making the event a truly enjoyable experience for everyone.
