Tacoma

Tacoma's race calendar runs along the water and up toward Mt. Rainier — the Tacoma City Marathon each May starts the summer season, the Mount Rainier Half Marathon, 10K & 5K each July leans directly into the mountain views the city is known for, and the Galloping Gertie Half Marathon takes its name from the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, famous for its dramatic 1940 collapse. Dash Point, named for the state park on Tacoma's southern waterfront, and Run The Bay round out a calendar built around the city's Puget Sound setting.
