This is a no fee, no shirt, no aid, no whining type event, so plan on carrying your favorite method of hydration and some energy grub as well! -- (And, of course) This is not a race but rather just a fun run intended to count towards Marathon Maniacs/Half Fanatics and other tallies.

That being said, our goal is to have an aid station at the start and at the turnaround, stocked with your typical ultra fare.   There are some bathrooms along the course, and a few water fountains, but you should carry what water and snacks you need.  This course is open to traffic so keep your eyes peeled and exercise caution.

Here are the preliminary results for the 2014 West Seattle Fat Ass 25/50K.

There were 181 runners total, spread over three start times, so unsurprisingly we got a little overwhelmed with our low tech paper and pen and stopwatch timing system.  Please look over your time.  If something looks weird, i.e. you ran the 50K and we only have your 25K time, we have the wrong start time for you, we have the wrong finish time (according to your gps device), or we have no time for you at all, then please email us at wsfarun@gmail.com so we can fix it.

After we have the kinks out, we will publish the final results.

The online registration  for the West Seattle Fat Ass is now closed

You can come down the morning of the race and sign up if you like though.  We have trouble saying no to anyone.

One of our beloved volunteers and our (former) intrepid race director/leader have decided to follow their dreams and move on to new careers and aren’t going to be available for the event, so if you are looking for a volunteer opportunity we could use a couple of people.

There is no fee for this fun run, but if you’d like to donate we will have a can out. We had to reserve the picnic shelter this year and we plan on continuing Nic’s donations in honor of his friend to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
