The Kaiser Permanente Seafair Torchlight Run is a vibrant evening 5K that kicks off the festivities of the Seafair Torchlight Parade on the Seattle Waterfront.<\/p>\n
The course is set against the stunning backdrop of the revitalized Seattle Waterfront, featuring a route that highlights the city’s newest public spaces. Runners will experience a flat and fast path with beautiful, unobstructed views of Elliott Bay and the Seattle skyline. The race starts and finishes at Pier 62, providing a central hub for the evening’s activities and an ideal viewing point for spectators.<\/p>\n
This race is unique for its integration with the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade, one of Seattle’s oldest and most beloved summer traditions. Participants often dress in neon, fluorescent, and glow-in-the-dark accessories to “Light Up the Night” as they run. The atmosphere is electric, filled with live entertainment, music, and thousands of spectators lining the route in anticipation of the parade.<\/p>\n
Early packet pickup is highly recommended and is available at the Brooks Trailhead Flagship Store the day before the event. On race day, parking is best found on the city side east of Western Avenue to avoid the heavy traffic and closures along the waterfront. Participants should arrive early to enjoy the pre-race atmosphere and stay late to secure a spot for the Torchlight Parade, which begins shortly after the run at 7:30 PM.<\/p>\n

Aspen Trail Marathon","description":" Haulin Aspen Trail Marathon & Half Marathon runs through the spectacular trail network surrounding Sunriver Resort and the Deschutes National Forest in Central Oregon. The course winds through golden aspen groves (at their most spectacular in late summer), old-growth ponderosa pine forests, and open meadows with sweeping views of the Three Sisters, Mount Bachelor, and Broken Top. The marathon and half marathon share the same scenic forest terrain, making this one of Central Oregon’s premier late-summer trail experiences.<\/p>\n The 22nd Annual Haulin Aspen takes place Saturday, August 8, 2026, based near Sunriver, Oregon. Registration is through RunSignup. The course is a well-marked, well-supported trail race with aid stations staffed by enthusiastic volunteers. The modest field size (500-1,000 participants) gives the race an intimate feel that larger events can’t match. Sunriver Resort area provides excellent post-race accommodation and dining.<\/p>\n Haulin Aspen is a beloved fixture in the Central Oregon racing calendar precisely because it combines challenging, beautiful trails with a welcoming community atmosphere. The aspen groves in August light are genuinely stunning \u2014 photographers as well as runners make the trip. At 4,200 feet elevation, temperatures are cooler than Portland or Eugene in August, making for ideal trail running conditions. The Sunriver area’s resort amenities make it easy to reward yourself generously after the race.<\/p>\n Trail shoes with good traction are essential for the forest floor and aspen grove terrain. At 4,200 feet, sea-level runners should pace conservatively. Book Sunriver Resort or nearby Bend accommodation early \u2014 August weekends in Central Oregon are popular. The race fills to capacity; register as soon as registration opens.<\/p>\n Run through Oregon’s aspen gold \u2014 register at

beds [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/). While traditionally a gentle downhill run starting at Olallie State Park and finishing in North Bend, the 2026 course will be modified due to trail damage from floods [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/). Runners can expect scenic forest views and crossing historic railroad trestles on terrain suitable for road running shoes [RunGuides](https:\/\/www.runguides.com\/event\/12757\/iron-horse-half).<\/p>\n Voted ‘Best Half in Washington’ multiple times by RaceRaves, this race is celebrated for its beautiful mountain scenery and traditionally fast, downhill trajectory [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/). It features a unique cupless racing model to minimize environmental impact and a celebratory finish line beer garden sponsored by Iron Horse Brewery [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/). The event supports the REI Cooperative Action Fund and is a staple of the Pacific Northwest running community [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/).<\/p>\n Packet pickup is available at REI Bellevue on the Saturday before the race or at the finish line on race morning, though early pickup is encouraged to avoid long lines [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/). Because parking is not allowed at the start line, participants must park at Meadowbrook Farm and take a shuttle to the start at least 30-60 minutes before their wave [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/). The race is cupless, so runners are strongly advised to bring their own hydration systems, especially given the potential for warm August weather [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/).<\/p>\n Ready to sign up?

Half Marathon Seattle","description":" A scenic and flat USATF-certified race along the West Seattle waterfront offering Half Marathon and 8-Miler distances with stunning views of the Puget Sound.<\/p>\n The Orca Half features a scenic point-to-point course that starts at Lincoln Park and follows the West Seattle shoreline to the finish at Don Armeni Boat Launch. The route is exceptionally flat and fast, offering runners stunning views of downtown Seattle, Blake Island, Vashon Island, and the Olympic Mountains across the Puget Sound. Most of the course runs directly along the waterfront, providing a beautiful and serene environment for participants.<\/p>\n The Orca Half is known for its environmental commitment as a cupless race and its partnership with Whale Scout, a non-profit dedicated to whale conservation. Runners may even spot a pod of orcas during the race, which takes place on lands historically inhabited by the Coast Salish and Duwamish tribes. The event features unique swag designed by Tlingit artist Alison Bremner and offers the ‘Blowhole Challenge’ for those who run on both Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n Packet pickup is available at REI Seattle on the Thursday before the race, or participants can opt for bib mailing during registration. Because the race is point-to-point, it is highly recommended to park near the finish line and take the provided pre-race shuttle to the start; note that no shuttles are provided after the race. As a cupless event, runners should bring their own handheld bottles or hydration packs, though small reusable cups are available.<\/p>\n Ready to sign up?

Half Marathon","description":" The Poulsbo Half Marathon and 10K offers a scenic running experience through the charming “Little Norway” of Washington, featuring waterfront views and a festive atmosphere.<\/p>\n The Poulsbo Half Marathon and 10K courses are scenic loops that take runners through the heart of Poulsbo, affectionately known as “Little Norway.” Both races begin and end at the picturesque Liberty Bay Waterfront Park, providing participants with beautiful views of the water. The half marathon course is moderately challenging with approximately 976 feet of elevation gain, while the 10K offers a flatter route with 281 feet of gain. Aid stations are strategically located every 2-3 miles, offering water, Tailwind, and GU gels to keep runners fueled.<\/p>\n This race is celebrated for its connection to Poulsbo’s Scandinavian heritage, offering a unique cultural backdrop for a running event. The “cupless” racing format highlights a commitment to environmental sustainability, reducing the waste typically associated with large endurance events. Post-race festivities at the waterfront park create a community-focused celebration that welcomes runners of all levels. Furthermore, the event serves as a fundraiser for Girls on the Run Westsound, supporting local youth empowerment through sport.<\/p>\n Participants can pick up their race packets at Poulsbo Running on the Saturday before the race or on race morning starting at 6:45 am. Parking is available at several nearby lots, including the Poulsbo City Hall, though carpooling is strongly encouraged to ease congestion in the downtown area. Since the race is cupless, runners are reminded to bring their own handheld bottle or reusable cup for hydration. October in the Pacific Northwest can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers and bringing a dry change of clothes for the post-race celebration is advisable.<\/p>\n Ready to sign up? Visit the official registration page<\/a> to secure your spot. Race weekends in the Pacific Northwest are popular \u2014 registering early is recommended.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"poulsbo-half-marathon","image":{"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon.png","id":38765,"extension":"png","width":1672,"height":941,"filesize":2407868,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":169,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":88498,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-300x169.png"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":870965,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-1024x576.png"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":38907,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":513246,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-768x432.png"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":864,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":1811780,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-1536x864.png"},"endurer_mikado_square":{"width":550,"height":550,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":433976,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-550x550.png"},"endurer_mikado_landscape":{"width":1100,"height":550,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":897832,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-1100x550.png"},"endurer_mikado_portrait":{"width":550,"height":941,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":760072,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-550x941.png"},"endurer_mikado_huge":{"width":1100,"height":941,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":1501878,"url":"https:\/\/whatracetorun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poulsbo-half-marathon-1100x941.png"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-10-04

Coast Trail Run","description":" The Perpetua Coast trail races take place on the scenic headlands and rainforest trails around Cape Perpetua, Oregon’s highest coastal viewpoint at 803 feet above sea level. The half marathon course is a gorgeous point-to-point route with 2,500 feet of elevation gain and 2,600 feet of descent, featuring miles of stunning old-growth rainforest singletrack, panoramic coastline views from the summit of Cape Perpetua, and rocky bluff paths skirting the shoreline near Yachats. The 50K and 20-miler offer even longer explorations of this spectacular coastal landscape on Saturday, while the half marathon and 10K run on Sunday.<\/p>\n The 2026 Perpetua Coast weekend takes place October 3-4, 2026, based at The Adobe Resort (1555 Hwy 101 N, Yachats, OR 97498). On Saturday: 50K starts at 8:00 a.m. and the 20-miler at 8:05 a.m. On Sunday: shuttle buses depart for the half marathon start at 8:25 a.m. (race start 9:00 a.m.) and for the 10K at 8:55 a.m. (start 9:30 a.m.). All bib pickup is at The Adobe’s Perpetua Conference Room. Organized by Daybreak Racing.<\/p>\n Yachats \u2014 pronounced ‘ya-hots’ \u2014 is one of Oregon’s least-discovered coastal gems, and the Perpetua Coast race puts it on every serious trail runner’s map. The combination of old-growth Sitka spruce rainforest, dramatic ocean bluffs, and the summit of Cape Perpetua creates trail running scenery that rivals anything in the Pacific Northwest. The Adobe Resort provides a luxurious base for a full race weekend, with a Friday evening shake-out run and sunset gathering building community before the main events.<\/p>\n This is a challenging course with significant elevation \u2014 the half marathon’s 2,500 feet of gain requires solid trail fitness and hill training. Shuttle buses are required for the half and 10K; arrive early. October on the Oregon coast can mean rain, wind, and cold \u2014 pack waterproof layers. Book The Adobe Resort or nearby Yachats accommodation early. The Friday evening shake-out run and sunset gathering are genuinely fun and worth attending.<\/p>\nCourse Highlights<\/h3>\n
