About Viking Dash

Though participants are encouraged to use Viking-like strength during this all-ages 5K fun run, the name is actually in reference to the Western Washington University Vikings. Portions of the proceeds from this race, whose course snakes past the major sculptures on campus, benefit the school's alumni association and track and field team. After the race, runners can enjoy a party with prizes, refreshments, and a complimentary photobooth that accepts only smiles as payment.
