Event Overview
The Iron Horse Half Marathon is a distance running event scheduled for August 30, 2026, in the state of Washington. The race begins at Olallie State Park and concludes in North Bend. Participants follow a course that moves through wooded areas and sections alongside the river. A primary feature of this point-to-point route is its elevation profile, as the course is 90% downhill.
Due to flood damage on the Iron Horse trail, the event organizers are implementing course adjustments for the 2026 edition. The route will be re-routed from its traditional path to accommodate these changes. The event offers two primary participation options:
- Half Marathon: A 13.1-mile point-to-point road race.
- Virtual Half Marathon: A 13.1-mile remote option with limited capacity.
Virtual Participation
The virtual race is limited to 40 participants. Individuals choosing this option have the flexibility to complete the 13.1-mile distance in one session or across multiple segments on a date of their choice. Virtual registrants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal, which are sent by mail following the conclusion of the in-person event.
