Event Details

Billed by race organizers as a great course for both runners and walkers, the North Olympic Discovery Marathon & Half Marathon (the event also includes a corporate relay, high school relay and kids' marathon) takes runners along the picturesque waterfront of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, in the shadow of Washington state's Olympic Mountain range.

Both the full and half marathon races are point-to-point races that take runners along the Olympic Discovery Trail, which stretches approximately 100 miles from Port Angeles through Sequim to Port Townsend.

From the starting line at Agnew Soccer Fields, runners follow a course that's a mixture of city streets through Port Angeles to a wide, hard-surface trail made of mixed materials, for the five-mile finishing stretch along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where the finish line lies at the downtown City Pier. The race is largely fast and flat, with few elevation changes of significance.

Race Weather & Climate

Even in the summer months, the Port Angeles area (located on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, just north of Olympic National Park) tends to stay cool to moderately warm, with June temperatures that average between 49°F and 65°F. Rainfall is rare, averaging less than an inch for the month.
