About the Seattle Half Marathon

The Seattle Half Marathon starts at Seattle Center and finishes at Bell Harbor Pier 66 on the downtown waterfront. The route runs east to Lake Union, follows the Eastlake shoreline north and returns along Northlake Way past Gas Works Park, then continues along the ship canal through Fremont. The last miles come back on the Elliott Bay Trail through Myrtle Edwards Park to the finish at the water. It runs on the Sunday of race weekend, alongside the full marathon.
