UW Medicine Seattle Marathon & Half Marathon

The UW Medicine Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon is Seattle’s original hometown marathon and the oldest marathon in the Pacific Northwest. Starting in the shadow of the Space Needle, the course showcases the pristine Pacific Northwest, and though avoiding hills in Seattle is like avoiding sand in the desert, Emerald City gems like Lake Union, Lake Washington, and the University of Washington help to temper the route’s inevitable ups and downs. Finishers applaud the race as “the perfect cap to the Thanksgiving weekend.” We invite you to take part in this iconic Thanksgiving weekend tradition and see why we’ve been RUNNING SEATTLE SINCE 1970.
