About the Skagit Flats Marathon

The Skagit Runners club stages this established valley marathon with a smaller field than Seattle-area city races. Its certified course and flat farm-country setting make it a practical qualifier target.

Course

Long, level stretches pass through Skagit Valley farmland before runners finish on the Burlington track. Sparse turns favor rhythm, but exposed fields can turn even modest wind into a meaningful pacing factor.

Race-day weather

Mid-September may offer cool morning air, low clouds or light rain, followed by warmer sunshine. The open valley leaves runners more exposed to wind and temperature changes than the flat profile suggests.
