We can’t wait to see you this Saturday at Walk for Rice (walkforrice.org)! Thank you to everyone walking, donating, fundraising, volunteering, and showing up for the ACRS Food Bank and our communities.
This year’s festivities will take place on the north field by the Torii Gate at Seward Park, just north of the park entrance. Look for the giant “WFR” letters and our registration tent, which opens at 8 a.m. Our program starts just after 9 a.m.
Parking and Shuttles
Please arrive early to allow time for parking. (bit.ly/WFR_Parking)

Free shuttles will run between ACRS and Seward Park. The first shuttle leaves ACRS at 7:30 a.m., with shuttles running about every 20 minutes. The last shuttle back to ACRS leaves Seward Park at 12:30 p.m.
Walk Route
The walk starts and ends at the Torii Gate and follows the lower loop around Seward Park, with beautiful views of Lake Washington and Mount Rainier. (bit.ly/WFR_Route)
The route is 2.4 miles and paved. It is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs when accompanied by another person. It is not recommended for walkers or rollators. Seating will be available for anyone not walking the route.
Running is optional. Registered walkers do not need to check in unless making a donation or picking up keepsakes. For everyone’s safety, bicycles are not allowed on the walk route.
A special shoutout to some of our leading fundraising teams and fundraisers so far: Team Blaine / Blaine Memorial United Methodist Church, Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple, Presby Dango, Teagan Godby and Phoebe Naguit. Thank you for bringing so much heart and momentum to this year’s Walk for Rice!
