Course
Runners start with a lap of Seward Park and a 0.52-mile out-and-back, then run the marathon route: two loops south around Seward Park and north along Lake Washington Boulevard past Leschi to a turnaround near Madrona Drive.
The course is mostly sidewalk and road with little elevation change. Aid stations sit every 3.1 miles on each loop.
About the Seattle Ghost 50K
The 50K is the longest race at the Seattle Ghost, an event that began in 1985 and has been run by NW Ultras since 2004. It starts in the dark, an hour before the main marathon field, and finishes on the same lakeside course.
The flat route makes it a quick ultra by road standards. The men's course record dates to 2007.
