Pacific Northwest Marathon
The Pacific Northwest Marathon is a race series held since 2015. The event date listed for the upcoming edition is September 19, 2026. The series states its courses are measured to industry standards and are USATF certified, making eligible finish times count toward Boston Marathon qualification for runners who meet official dates and standards.
The event presents multiple course options:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 5K
Course materials and race-day maps describe clearly marked routes that run through neighborhoods, parks, and shaded areas with trees. Race operations include numerous aid stations and restrooms along the courses, traffic control and designated spectator areas. Race-day logistics also note shuttle pickup points, parking locations, and host hotels.
Past editions included race-day features such as an expo and celebration area, finish arch and awards, food and live music, pacers on at least some distances, physical therapy and stretching support, and photographer and timing services. The series also offers a weekly marathon training program and opportunities to volunteer. The stated mission is to help people overcome challenges, improve fitness, and build a supportive community around running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
