Seattle, Washington: Runners braved temperatures in the mid 80s, with some in full costume, for the Nordic Museum's 3rd Annual Run Like a Viking 5K. The race kicked-off the Nordic Museums’ 35th Annual Viking Days celebration in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. The annual summer festival features Nordic food, folk music, demonstrations and a full-scale Viking encampment. Situated along Lake Washington Ship Canal and Shilshole Bay, Ballard is the traditional center of Seattle's ethnically Scandinavian seafaring community. Credit: Paul Christian Gordon/Alamy Live News
