Kent, Washington, August 10, 2015– Kent Station is partnering with Road Runner Sports to host a fun end-of-summer event for the whole family.

Road Runner Sports puts on an Adventure Run the third Thursday of every month from April through October. This year will be the third annual S.O.A.K.S. event which combines the Adventure Run with a street fair. Booths with activities like face painting, hula hoop competitions and martial arts demonstrations will open at 5pm. Participants will receive raffle tickets for every activity. The Adventure Run map will be revealed at 6:30pm at which time everyone is welcome to walk, jog or run to as many checkpoints on the map as they wish, collecting raffle tickets at each stop, until returning to the Kent Station plaza by 7:45pm.
