The Evergreen Half Marathon returns as one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier road races. Organized by Snohomish Running Company, this event features a USATF‑certified Half Marathon and a point‑to‑point 5 Mile race, both running on the paved, scenic Centennial Trail.
🏃 Race & Course Experience
Participants park at Averill Field in downtown Snohomish and are shuttled to the start at Getchell Trailhead Park. At 8:00 AM PDT, the Half Marathon kicks off, offering a gentle net downhill along the tree-lined Centennial Trail. With minimal turns and smooth surface, it’s ideal for fast finishes and personal bests. The 5 Mile race begins nearby at 8:00 AM, converging onto the same scenic finale. Aid stations provide water and fluids; shuttle logistics are smooth and efficient.
🌟 What Makes It Special
