Orca Half Marathon

The Orca Half Marathon is a scenic, USATF-certified half marathon held in Seattle, Washington, along the shores of West Seattle. The point-to-point course starts at Lincoln Park and finishes at Don Armeni Boat Launch, featuring a mostly flat route with two small out-and-back sections early on and a longer one near the end. Runners enjoy stunning views of downtown Seattle, Blake Island, Vashon Island, and Puget Sound, with the possibility of spotting orca pods.

The event includes an 8-mile race and a virtual option, with aid stations every 2-3 miles. It supports the local nonprofit Whale Scout and emphasizes environmental responsibility with cupless racing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
