Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon course.

1. 01

   One Start, One Finish

   The half is out-and-back and both starts and ends at Cheney Stadium, so there's no shuttle to the start: park once near the stadium and you'll finish right where you left the car.

2. 02

   Two Bridges, Twice Each

   You cross the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Skyline Bridge on the way out and again on the way back, so the course repeats itself. Run the outbound bridges relaxed and save your strength for the return.

   The Neighborhood Loop, Repeated

   The Skyline neighborhood loop comes around twice, on the way out and again on the way back to Cheney Stadium. Know that the quiet stretch near the end is the same ground you covered early.

4. 04

   Early, Mild Start

   The gun goes at 07:30 and race-day temperature typically runs around 17.1C, so it should be cool and comfortable. Warm up before the start rather than shedding layers in the first kilometer.

   Finish on the Warning Track

   The last stretch runs inside Cheney Stadium along the warning track, where you'll see yourself on the jumbotron. Hold a little back for that final lap in front of the crowd.
