Hosted by the Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB) in partnership with Brooks Running, SpiritWalk & Warrior Run is a 5k run/walk at Discovery Park. What began as a march to raise awareness for Indigenous issues has become one of SIHB’s cornerstone community events. In recent years, SpiritWalk has focused on raising visibility and support for crises such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) and substance use disorder. This year’s event comes at a critical moment as SIHB is at risk of losing millions in federal grant funding that has historically supported health research, services, and programs. Despite these challenges, SpiritWalk & Warrior Run is an opportunity for the community to come together, lift spirits, and celebrate the resiliency of Indigenous peoples.
