Tukwila To Alki Updated (07/22/24)
There will be an aid station at mile 6.4, 13.1, 19.8 and 26.2.
The exact times of operation for the aid stations are still being planned.
I will arrive at the starting area before 6:00 AM.
I will be starting runners who do not believe they will finish their race distance by 2:00 PM.
I am hoping for a 6:00 AM Super Early Marathon Mass Start.
I am hoping for a 7:00 AM Early Marathon Mass Start.
I am hoping for an 8:00 AM Marathon Mass Start.
I am hoping for a 9:00 AM Half Marathon Mass Start.
I am hoping for a 2:00 PM Race Finish.
More info coming in the future - we plan on supporting everyone - that is why we ask for predicted finishing times.
* We are offering a Full Marathon Option this year (2025) - Tukwila to Alki then back to Tukwila (out and back) 26.2 miles.
* Some runners may decide to run the Half Marathon Course twice (out and back, out and back) 26.2 miles. This is ok too.
* We are offering Two (2) options for the Half Marathon this year (2025).
* Run to Alki (13.1 miles) - you would then need to provide your own transportation back to the starting area.
* OR turn around at the marked turn around location and finish at the starting area for a Half.
I hope we will be able to offer carpool rides back to the starting area.
Both race options will be starting at the same location - but would have different finish lines.

If anyone feels uncomfortable doing a Mass Start - they are welcome to start on their own at any time.

Marathoners will also start at 8:00 AM.
