Event
Details
Set in nearly the geographic center of Washington State, the town of
Wenatchee straddles the great Columbia River that runs north-south
through the entire middle of the state, and plays host each April to
the Wenatchee Marathon & Half Marathon, which also includes a
full marathon relay. The course for all three events is scenic
and free of traffic, and is open to both runners and walkers (though
wheelchairs and jogging strollers are not permitted). Made entirely of
paved surfaces, the course is mostly flat with a few gently rolling
hills -- its lowest elevation is about 560 feet above sea level, and
its highest is about 620 feet.
The starting line for each of the four races is near Centennial Park on
Wenatchee Avenue, next to Key Bank at 102 South Wenatchee Ave. From the
start, the course proceeds northward along Wenatchee Avenue and then
eastward on 5th Street, to the Apple Capital Loop Trail. After reaching
this point, the remainder of all four races take runners exclusively
along the Apple Capital Loop Trail to the finish at Wenatchee
Riverfront Park.
