We get it. The weather is chilly, the days are short, and all you probably want to do is binge-watch Netflix shows or play video games on the couch until spring arrives.

But stretching out those legs can feel good, and there are plenty of fun runs happening around town over the next month to get you moving.

  • Interlaken Icicle Dash | Interlaken Park | Saturday, Feb. 4 | 9:30 a.m. | $33-$45 | You can choose 5K or 10K distances for this trot through scenic dirt trails.
  • My Better Half Marathon | Seward Park | Saturday, Feb. 12 | 8 a.m.-12 p.m. | $62-$93 | Couple goals? Jog with your partner and enjoy romantic Lake Washington views.
  • Hot Chocolate Run | Seattle Center | Sunday, March 5 | 7 a.m. | $40-61 | At the end of the race, there’s a “finisher’s mug” waiting for you with fondue, dippable treats, and hot cocoa, of course.
