Runners traverse a scenic gravel and dirt path that meanders through beautiful agricultural areas, providing views of lush farmland and forests ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)). The half marathon route is USATF certified and features aid stations located approximately every three miles ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)). This point-to-point-style out-and-back course is well-regarded for its serene atmosphere and natural Pacific Northwest beauty ([Find a Race](https:\/\/findarace.com\/us\/events\/snoqualmie-valley-half)).<\/p>\n<h3>What Makes It Special<\/h3>\n<p>The Snoqualmie Valley Half Marathon is distinguished by its commitment to sustainability through Orca Running&#8217;s cupless racing initiative ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)). After the race, participants can enjoy a beer garden sponsored by Iron Horse Brewery, with all proceeds benefiting the Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)). The event also supports the REI Cooperative Action Fund, which works to improve outdoor access for all people ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)). With its inclusive environment, the race offers pacers from the Seattle Green Lake Running Group to help runners achieve their goal times ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)).<\/p>\n<h3>Race Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Carnation, WA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distances:<\/strong> Half Marathon, 10K<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next Race Date:<\/strong> 2026-06-20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Race Weekend Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Packet pickup is available at REI Bellevue on the Thursday before the race or at the start line on race morning ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/snoqualmie-valley-half\/)).
