Overview

The Galloping Gertie Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K is a running event held in Tacoma, Washington. The courses offer views of Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Mount Rainier.

The Half Marathon course, updated in 2020 for a flatter and faster experience, starts and finishes at the Tacoma Narrows Airport. The 10K is an out-and-back across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The 5K course is a half-way excursion across the bridge before returning to the airport on the out-and-back route. There are aid stations on the course.

Participants will receive a custom finisher medal, free downloadable race photos, a tech tee, and chip timing services. Proceeds from the event support a number of local charities.
