Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon
The event offers three distances that begin and end at Cheney Stadium and use local trails, neighborhood streets, and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The half marathon is an out-and-back course that follows the Scott Pierson Trail, crosses the pedestrian bridge over Highway 16, runs through the Skyline neighborhood, crosses the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and returns to Cheney Stadium where finishers run on the warning track.

- 5K - start and finish at Cheney Stadium and includes a lap on the warning track
Registration packages include a commemorative medal, a tech tank top (a cutoff date is used to guarantee shirt sizes), and a collective bib; optional merchandise may be available. Team discounts apply for 5K teams at set team sizes with refunds applied when a team reaches each threshold. A portion of proceeds benefits the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County.
Race services include packet pickup with a race bib and timing chip, gear check (available until 15 minutes before the start), aid stations about every 2 miles supplying water, electrolyte, Vaseline, basic first aid and some energy gels, and medical personnel at the finish.
