University Place Twisted Cider 12K

University Place's Twisted Cider 5K, 12K & 1K is a family-friendly running event organized by the Tacoma City Marathon Association. Courses start and finish at Curran Apple Orchard Park in University Place, with the 5K/12K winding through quiet neighborhoods, offering views of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Puget Sound. The route features gentle rolling hills and flat, fast sections, plus an out-and-back 1K for kids along Sound View Drive.

Finisher medals, tri-blend shirts, and a complimentary Giant Pretzel & cider greet participants. A portion of proceeds benefits Humane Society; live music and food trucks round out the day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
