Marathon-Läufe in der Nähe von Mukilteo

Seattle Ghost is a low-key road race in Seattle offering half marathon, marathon, and 50K distances, held in late November around the Thanksgiving weekend. Established in 1985 following a course and date change by the Seattle Marathon, the marathon now provides runners a flat, fast, certified Boston qualifier along Lake Washington. The start and finish are at Ferdinand Street Boat Launch, north of Seward Park. Half marathoners complete one 13.1-mile loop, marathoners run it twice, and 50K runners add a clockwise loop of Seward Park before heading north on Lake Washington Boulevard past Leschi to the turnaround. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 3 miles. The course utilizes streets and sidewalks, which means dogs, strollers, and wheelchairs are not permitted. Finishers receive medals and hoodies. A covered recovery area offers hot food and cold drinks. A portion of the race proceeds supports providing Christmas gifts for families in need in Western Washington.

The Seattle Kids Marathon is a fall program in Seattle allowing children to complete a full 26.2-mile marathon by running one mile at a time. Children log the first 25 miles on their own schedule, using a safe measured route like a city block, a high school track, or an indoor route at home. They then participate in the in-person event for the final 1.2-mile run. The program incorporates more than just running: children track 26 healthy meals, 13 books read, and 13 good deeds alongside their miles. Families can participate, using the provided Run-O-Meter, Read-O-Meter, Do-Right-O-Meter, and Eat-Right-O-Meter for daily record keeping. Children can earn certificates at 5, 10, 15, and 20 miles, along with special certificates for reaching reading, eating, good-deed, and running milestones.
