A scenic point-to-point half marathon held on the historic railroad trails of Washington state, finishing in North Bend [Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/iron-horse-half\/).<\/p>\n
The course follows the unpaved, hard-packed dirt of the Palouse to Cascades and Snoqualmie Valley Trails, which are former railroad 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

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

through Kirkland’s neighborhoods.<\/p>\n The Lake Washington Half Marathon features a USATF-certified loop course that begins and ends at Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland. Runners follow a scenic route along the shores of Lake Washington and through various residential neighborhoods. The course includes sections on the Cross Kirkland Corridor Trail and has an approximate elevation gain of 531 feet. Detailed aid stations are located roughly every two miles, providing water and electrolytes to participants throughout the 13.1-mile journey.<\/p>\n Produced by Orca Running, this event is designed as a premier end-of-season half marathon for Pacific Northwest runners. It distinguishes itself through sustainability efforts, such as being a cupless race, and its commitment to community by supporting the charity partner Rise Up and Read. Participants often enjoy the unique tradition of a pre-race group hug and the festive atmosphere at the finish line. The race also provides professional pacers for multiple finish times, helping runners achieve their personal goals in a supportive environment.<\/p>\n Packet pickup is available via mail for a fee, at REI Bellevue on TBD dates, or on race morning starting at 6:30 am. Parking at Juanita Beach Park is very limited, so participants are strongly encouraged to use the free shuttle service from the Peter Kirk Municipal Parking Garage. As this is a cupless race, runners must bring their own hydration vessel, such as a handheld bottle or vest. Free gear check is provided, but runners should bring their own bags as drop bags are not supplied.<\/p>\n Ready to sign up? Visit the official registration page<\/a> to secure your spot.

Medicine Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon","description":" Seattle’s original hometown marathon is a historic Thanksgiving weekend tradition that has been taking runners through the heart of the city since 1970. [Seattle Marathon Association](https:\/\/www.seattlemarathon.org\/about)<\/p>\n The course begins at the iconic Seattle Center and takes runners on a scenic tour through the city’s diverse neighborhoods. Participants will navigate through the lush Washington Park Arboretum and the University of Washington campus, offering views of Lake Washington and the city skyline. The route features rolling hills and varied terrain, eventually heading toward the waterfront for a spectacular finish at Pier 66 on Elliott Bay. [Seattle Marathon Association](https:\/\/www.seattlemarathon.org\/marathon-and-half-marathon), [World’s Marathons](https:\/\/worldsmarathons.com\/zh\/marathon\/amica-insurance-seattle-marathon)<\/p>\n As one of the oldest and most prestigious races in the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle Marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier with a rich history spanning over 50 years. The event is celebrated for its festive holiday atmosphere and strong community support, attracting thousands of runners to the city during Thanksgiving weekend. It offers a unique opportunity to experience Seattle’s most famous landmarks on a course that balances urban scenery with natural beauty. [Seattle Marathon Association](https:\/\/www.seattlemarathon.org\/about), [KOMO News](https:\/\/komonews.com\/station\/contests-community-events\/register-for-the-uw-medicine-seattle-marathon)<\/p>\n Packet pickup and the Health & Fitness Expo are held at The Westin Seattle on the Friday and Saturday preceding the race. Parking near the Seattle Center start line can be challenging, so participants are encouraged to reserve spots in advance via SpotHero or use public transportation. Seattle’s late November weather is typically cool, cloudy, and damp, so runners should dress in layers and prepare for potential rain.

Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)).<\/p>\n The USATF certified point-to-point course starts at Redmond City Hall and finishes at the soccer fields of Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). The route is entirely paved, following the East Lake Sammamish Trail as it winds along the eastern shore of the lake ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). It is a flat and fast course with minimal elevation gain, making it popular for runners aiming for personal bests ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)).<\/p>\n The race is highly regarded for its potential for personal records due to its extremely flat course profile ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). In 2027, the event expands to two days (‘Double the Days’) to accommodate more runners ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). Participants receive premium Brooks tech shirts and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Sammamish and Marymoor Park ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). The event also emphasizes sustainability by operating as a cupless race ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)).<\/p>\n Packet pickup is available at the Bellevue REI in the days leading up to the race or on race morning at Redmond City Hall ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). Free shuttles are provided to transport participants from the finish line back to the start line area, and a pre-race shuttle is also typically offered ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). The event is cupless, so runners should bring their own hydration system or use the reusable cups provided ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). Finish line parking at the state park requires a Discover Pass ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)).<\/p>\nCourse Highlights<\/h3>\n
