International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®) Yelm, WA Branch is approximately 25 miles from downtown Tacoma. As part of the ICE® 50th Anniversary Celebration, we are highlighting our branches as they participate in community events like the Tacoma, Washington Wicked Fast 5k/10K & Fun Run. ICE® supports these events to help build camaraderie and bonds within our team and with our extended communities. On Saturday, October 26, 2024, the ICE® west coast team and their families came together to have a fun-filled day in the fresh air while raising money for local pets. Sharra Spencer, the office manager and core support team member, won the costume contest! 

The Wicked Fast 5K Fun Run in Tacoma typically attracts around 500 to 700 participants each year. This event has quickly become a Halloween tradition in Tacoma, with the first run held in 2018. Over the years, it has grown in popularity, adding a 10K option and a kids' run to accommodate more participants and families.  This flat and fast 5K & 10K course features Tacoma's beautiful waterfront and newest park, Dune Peninsula, and is a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit while staying active.

A portion of the proceeds from this event goes to support local animals. Last year, the Wicked Fast 5K Fun Run in Tacoma raised approximately $15,000 for the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County. This organization provides essential services such as animal rescue, shelter, and adoption programs, helping countless animals in need. Additionally, participants can make extra donations during registration to further support this cause.  

ICE® is proud of our entire west coast Branch for helping to make a positive impact on the community where they live and work. Overall, community events like this help create a vibrant, connected, and supportive environment. ICE® takes pride in giving back to the communities that have supported our team.
