West Seattle Beach Run - Fat Ass
The event on Sunday February 8, 2026 follows a long coastal route beginning in Magnolia behind the Interbay golf course near the train tracks. Parking is on local streets and the run begins at Thorndyke Ave W and 20th Ave W. Runners head down 20th Ave W to the Elliot Bay Trail and follow the trail south past Myrtle Edwards Park and the Sculpture Park to Alaskan Way.
The course continues south on Alaskan Way, rejoining the Elliot Bay Trail when the trail appears on the right. The route follows the trail and Alaskan Way until it becomes E. Marginal Way. Before Spokane St the trail turns to the right and becomes the West Seattle Bridge Trail, which goes up and over the lower West Seattle Bridge. The trail then leads to Harbor Ave W and continues through South West Seattle to Lincoln Park. Just past the Colman Outdoor Pool in Lincoln Park the route turns around and returns the same way.
Turnaround points for specific distances are not marked. Navigation for each distance relies on street signs or mileage.
- Half marathon: turn at the Duwamish Waterway when the trail becomes West Seattle Bridge Trail.
- Marathon: turn just past Me-Kwa-Mooks Park at S.W. Jacobson Rd; this point is unmarked.
A course route is available on MapMyRun. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
