Tacoma

The Ghost of Tacoma is a low key event for those who wish to run two marathons in two days (the perfect opportunity to qualify for the Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics !). The marathon and half marathon will be chip-timed and accurately measured but they are not certified courses for Boston and New York at this time.

Aid Stations: There are bathrooms located along Ruston Way, with Honey Buckets at mile 1, fixed bathrooms at miles 2.3, 3 and 3.5. The marathon is run twice and there will be aid at the finish line (mile 13.1) before you head back out. Course Route: The route is mostly on paved bike paths along the Puget Sound, there are several street crossings. Please note that the course is on sidewalks and you must obey pedestrian laws.
