About the Pacific Northwest Marathon

This Willamette Valley road marathon puts performance ahead of big-city spectacle. Its rural setting, point-to-point format and certified course make it especially relevant to runners chasing a qualifier.

Course

The route starts in Coburg and trends gently downhill toward Harrisburg. Long, flat rural sections favor even pacing, though point-to-point transport and exposure to wind deserve advance planning.

Race-day weather

September mornings in the Willamette Valley are often cool, with afternoons becoming warmer and drier. Fog, light rain or a headwind remain possible along the open rural course.
