Course and logistics
The course follows a scenic trail with a gradual net drop of about 2,000 feet over the downhill portion after passing through the Snoqualmie Tunnel. Much of the route is on a hard-packed, shaded dirt/gravel road. Marathon runners must carry a light for the tunnel; marathon runners should mark the light with the tear tag on the bib and drop it in the bucket at the tunnel exit. Aid stations are located approximately every 2.5 miles and are stocked with water, Gatorade, and GU gels at select stations.
Logistics: there is no shuttle to the marathon start; half marathon runners are transported by shuttle to the trailhead and then walk about 1 mile to the start. No parking is allowed at the half marathon start, trailhead, or finish; return shuttles bring runners back to original parking locations. Packet pickup is at Snoqualmie Running Company (38843 SE Newton St, Snoqualmie, WA) with scheduled Friday and Saturday pickup hours; race day pickup is available only if pre-paid and pre-arranged for a fee. Drop bags are transported to the finish and must be secured and tagged. The race policy states no refunds, deferrals, or transfers except for volunteers.
