Orca Running

In case you missed it, the most recent iPhone update added an emoji to the lineup that we’ve been dreaming of for YEARS! 🫍🫍🫍🫍🫍

Now we don’t need to pick between a humpback and a blue cartoon whale 🐋 🐳 when we’re emojifying our logo!

To celebrate, we’re hosting the Orca Emoji Extrava-Giveaway starting today (June 15th) and running through the 21st. Winners will receive $500 or free entry to this year’s Orca Half & 8 Miler, and there will be four winners total. 🙌

To enter, share a post or story on Instagram about the Orca Half. Make sure you tag us (Orca Running 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻🫍) and you MUST include the orca emoji in either the image or the caption (or go crazy and do both)! If you’re not sure what to share, swipe right to see this year’s medal, designed by Tlingit artist Alison Bremner! Folks have been earning Orca Half medals designed by Alison since 2019, and we always love seeing her designs gleaming as our runners cross the finish line. 😍

Go check out our page about this giveaway for more details and a few more ways you can win, and good luck! 🤞

Do you love telling people what to do with confidence? Are you fond of fluorescent vests? How about being compensated with race discounts and snacks?

Well we’ve got a gig for you!

We’re still looking for three parking volunteers for next Saturday’s Snoqualmie Valley Half & 10k in Carnation, WA. These are two hour shifts where you will support our runners with parking in designated areas around Tolt McDonald Park, and you would make a huge difference in so many runners’ mornings!

Head to https://runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/WA/Carnation/SnoqualmieValley and join us for a morning of music, fun, and walking tacos!
