Runners follow a point-to-point course for the Tukwila To Alki Half Marathon, which starts in the small suburban city of Tukwila and ends in Alki Beach Park, along the Puget Sound shoreline and just to the southwest of downtown Seattle. The half marathon route starts at the half-way point of the Green River Marathon, which is run between Kent and Alki each June, and follows a combination of roadways and biking, walking and running trails along the second 13.1 miles of that race.
