Race Info
Runners are taken by bus. Participants will be able to use their finishing time to qualify for Boston. Participants will need a headlamp or flashlight in the tunnel, which they can leave at the end of the tunnel and pick it up after the race. The Snoqualmie tunnel will be at the beginning of the race. It’s cold and damp, and it’s perfect for the start of the race on a summer day. This is the coolest part of the entire race.
There will be 11 aid stations along the marathon course, located approximately every 2 miles. The time limit is 6,5 hours, which corresponds to a pace of 15 minutes per mile. Each participant will receive a custom waterproof T-shirt, a duffel bag and a medal.
