Walk Dont Run is a community art event that activates Seattle's urban parks, sidewalks, plazas, and downtown storefronts with music, visual art + live performances along a 3-kilometer route from Pioneer Square to Belltown.

Inspired by NEPO 5K Don't Run, which took place from 2011 to 2015 between the Chinatown-Interntional District and Beacon Hill [home of artist Klara Glosova], Walk Dont Run is spearheaded by Kira Burge, in collaboration with Steven Severin, Alice Gosti, Philippe Hyojung Kim, Meli Darby, Olivia Neal Howell + Jennie Kovalcik, and aims to spark downtown Seattle’s revival through fun, creative activities that put art at the center.
