Course and logistics
The marathon course is certified as a Boston Marathon qualifier and is described as very flat. The marathon is made of two 13.1-mile loops run on streets and sidewalks along Lake Washington. The start and finish are at the Ferdinand St Boat Launch, 5018 Lake Washington Blvd. S (coordinates 47.557338, -122.262188). The route runs south with a clockwise loop of Seward Park, returns to the start/finish, then continues north along Lake Washington through Leschi to a north turnaround just past the Madrona Drive intersection (coordinates 47.613496, -122.281265), then back to the start/finish. Aid stations are placed every 3.1 miles on each loop. No dogs or strollers are permitted on the course due to sidewalk sections.
The event is managed by the non-profit NW Ultras (since 2004) with support from Green Lake Crew (since 2013). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
