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 >> downtown seattle >> belltown.
this is more than just an activation—this is an art movement.
Inspired by NEPO 5K Don't Run, which took place from 2011 to 2015 between the Chinatown-International 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.
WALK DONT Run will kick off Art + Culture week Seattle, which runs from September 20-27, 2025.
