Course
Half marathoners run a single loop. From the Ferdinand Street Boat Launch the route heads south and circles Seward Park clockwise, then runs north along Lake Washington through Leschi to a turnaround near Madrona Drive before returning to the start.
The road and sidewalk course is nearly flat, with aid every 3.1 miles. Dogs and strollers are not allowed because of the sidewalk sections.
About the Seattle Ghost Half Marathon
The Seattle Ghost started in 1985, when the Seattle Marathon changed courses and moved from Saturday to Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. The nonprofit NW Ultras has run it since 2004.
The half is the shortest of three distances on the same lakeside course. All three share one field limit, so entries can run out before race day.
