Course and logistics
The marathon begins near the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area and opens with a about a 9-mile stretch through Icicle Canyon before turning onto East Leavenworth Road toward the Wenatchee River Bridge and the Bavarian Village. The route follows wooded riverfront parks and Icicle River trails, then rejoins East Leavenworth Road for a second lap that finishes at the Enchantment Park Event Center. The half marathon starts and finishes at Enchantment Park and follows the village’s Front Street and Riverfront Park before joining the marathon route back to the finish. Surfaces include paved roads, dirt/gravel sections and trails. Marathon entrants must complete the course within a six-hour limit; the half marathon course is open for four hours and allows walkers. Marathon participants are required to use event bus transport to the start; private vehicle access to the marathon start is not permitted. Aid stations appear every 2-3 miles with water and Skratch sports drink; energy gels are supplied at specified miles. First aid and ambulance support are provided at the finish.
