The Seattle Super Saunter is an annual self-guided walking event where participants cross the city of Seattle, covering up to 24 miles (39 km). In 2026, the organizer's recommended route started at the Shoreline South/148th station and ended at the Garden of Gethsemane Church in Columbia City, with stops along the way at Gas Works Park, Pike Place Market, and the Space Needle.[1]
The event was founded by Holden Minor Ringer, a walking enthusiast who previously walked 4,500 miles (7,200 km) from La Push, Washington to Fairfield, Connecticut. He calls the event a "build-your-own adventure" intended to help people see more of Seattle.[2] Ringer is also a member of the Transportation Choices Coalition, a nonprofit advocating for better bike and pedestrian infrastructure, and intended the event to build community and spread awareness of accessibility issues.[1][3]
The first edition, held in 2025, had roughly 300 participants. The second edition grew to over 1,500 registered attendees.[1]
