About the Wenatchee Marathon
The Wenatchee Marathon is run in April from the Performing Arts Plaza in downtown Wenatchee, Washington. The course follows paved, traffic-free trails along the Columbia River, crossing the Odabashian Bridge to a turnaround in East Wenatchee and returning by a pedestrian footbridge; the marathon is two laps of the half marathon loop. The Wenatchee Marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifying event, and the marathon and half marathon are USATF certified courses. A half marathon, 10K and 5K run the same morning, and walkers are welcome in every distance. Source
