This 2026 half marathon near North Bend, WA has been moved to a new out-and-back, point-to-point course due to December flooding on the Iron Horse trail, offering a gentle uphill beginning instead of the original downhill opening. You can choose to run in person or participate virtually (capped at 40 spots), with virtual runners having the flexibility to complete the distance at their own pace on race day or break it into multiple runs. All finishers will receive a shirt and medal, with virtual participants' awards mailed out after the in-person race concludes.
