Open to both runners and walkers, the Race for a Soldier Half Marathon will start at the Gig Harbor YMCA, which lies just off Borgen Boulevard, and just north of both the city’s downtown and the harbor that gives it its name. From there, runners will head out on a route that shows off this seaside city’s natural beauty as well as the sailboats in the harbor and the historic architecture of the shops and restaurants in town.
