Course and race details
The marathon course begins near the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area and includes a first segment of about nine miles through Icicle Canyon. Runners follow East Leavenworth Road to the Wenatchee River Bridge, pass into downtown Leavenworth, use riverfront parks and trails, and return via Icicle Road and Icicle River trails for a second lap that finishes at the Enchantment Park Event Center. The route uses a mix of paved roads, dirt roads, paths, and trails and passes mountain scenery and rivers where wildlife may be visible. The marathon has a six hour cut-off; the half marathon course is open for four hours.
Logistics and support include aid stations every 2-3 miles offering water and Skratch sports drink, energy gels at approximately miles 10 and 21 for the marathon and mile 8 for the half, a first aid tent at the finish, and EMT-supported ambulance coverage. The marathon start requires bus transportation from Leavenworth rather than private vehicle access. No pets, strollers, or tethered equipment are allowed.
