SEATTLE, Wash. -- The Seattle Seawolves are set to deliver a full weekend celebration of rugby, fitness, and community engagement at Starfire Sports, highlighted by the club's inaugural Seawolves 5K Run and Kids Dash, the Washington High School Rugby State Championships, and Sunday's Major League Rugby matchup against Anthem Rugby Carolina.

The inaugural Seawolves 5K Run and Kids Dash will take place Saturday, May 16, from 8 a.m.

to 12 p.m., bringing together Seawolves supporters, local families, runners, youth athletes, and community members for a morning centered around fitness, inclusivity, and connection. The event was created as a new way to engage the Pacific Northwest community while introducing new audiences to the culture and values of rugby.

"Our goal with this event is to create opportunities for people to connect with the Seawolves and with rugby in ways that go beyond matchday," said Drew Dambreville. "Rugby is built on community, teamwork, and inclusivity, and the 5K and kids dash are a reflection of those values.

We want this to be an approachable, family-friendly experience that welcomes everyone -- from longtime rugby supporters to people experiencing the sport for the very first time."

Following the morning festivities, the Washington High School Rugby State Championships will kick off Saturday afternoon beginning at 1 p.m. at Starfire Stadium. This marks the second consecutive year the Seawolves have partnered to host the championships, reinforcing the organization's long-term commitment to supporting youth rugby development throughout the Pacific Northwest.

"Hosting the state championships is something we're incredibly proud of," Dambreville said.

"Supporting the next generation of rugby players is important to our organization, and we hope this continues to grow into an annual tradition that celebrates the future of the sport in our region."

By pairing the 5K and Kids Dash with the state championships, the Seawolves aim to create a full-day celebration of rugby and community that welcomes fans from a variety of sporting backgrounds and experiences. The organization views the weekend as an important step in continuing to grow the Seawolves brand while expanding awareness and participation in rugby across the region.

The rugby-filled weekend concludes Sunday, May 17, when the Seawolves return home to face Anthem Rugby Carolina at 1 p.m. at Starfire Stadium in a key Major League Rugby matchup.

The Seawolves continue to expand their community engagement efforts through youth rugby initiatives, rugby in schools programming, supporter events, and regional activations designed to make rugby more accessible and welcoming throughout the Pacific Northwest.
