Tacoma City Marathon
The Tacoma City Marathon, held annually in Tacoma, Washington, offers a scenic and USATF-certified course that includes marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. The point-to-point marathon and half marathon courses cross the iconic Tacoma Narrows Bridge and finish at Dune Peninsula Park, a picturesque waterfront area with views of Puget Sound and nearby mountain ranges. Runners pass through Point Defiance Park, featuring gardens and old-growth forests, and enjoy flat, fast stretches along the waterfront with sights of Mt.
Rainier and the Museum of Glass. The event also includes a marathon relay and the "Ghost of Tacoma" challenge, allowing participants to run multiple races over a weekend. The atmosphere is festive with live music, food vendors, and strong community support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
