HALF MARATHON

13.1 MILES

The half marathon will start at 8:30am and the course closes at 2:00pm. The course is certified by USATF (WA24010RMB) and will be an out and back route with the turnaround located at the halfway point. This course is flat and great for a first time half marathon or personal best!  

  • Aid Stations & Finish Line -  Aid stations are approximately 2 - 2.5 miles.  They will have water and Roctane sports drink (lemon-berry), GU energy gels (vanilla bean & raspberry lemonade).  Note that gels will be available after 6 miles.  The liquids will be offered in pre-filled cups and then pitchers will also be available to refill bottles or bladders.   Restrooms or port-a-potties will be no more than 4 miles apart.  

We plan to have various beverages and an assortment of snacks and hot food at the finish line. After you refuel, be sure to check out the Recovery Zone for a little FREE R&R offered by a physical therapists, chiropractor and massage therapists.  While you may not feel like running the course again that day, it will help you feel a little less sore and better able to get around later in the day.  There will be a "finisher village" near the finish line so you can check out the latest offerings and chat with some great people that helped support this race.
