The deadline to pre-register for Sunday’s Burien Brat Trot [1] , as well as Friday night’s Pub Crawl, is TONIGHT â€" Thursday, Oct. 3 â€" at 11:59 p.m.
The B-Town Blog is proud to be a Sponsor again for this great, local, grassroots fundraiser, and you can register online now [2] and have some fun while benefiting the Highline Schools Foundation, Safe Kids South King County and Seattle Children’s Hospital.
With longtime BTB Advertiser the Tin Room Bar [3] serving as official Headquarters, expect a full day of fun on a flat, fast 5k around Lake Burien and surrounding neighborhoods â€" or the shorter one mile race â€" followed by a finish-line BAVARIANFEST block party.
You don’t have to run (or walk) either â€" you can just come hang out at the block party, which will include two stages with rock bands and DJs, beer gardens, tons-o-sausage by Dan the Sausageman, food trucks, giveaways and crazy fun.
There will also be plenty of fun for the kiddos, too â€" with bouncy toys, face painting, pumpkin painting, even a Root Beer Garden!
