About the Snohomish River Run Marathon
For Pacific Northwest runners who want a flat October marathon without big-city logistics, the Snohomish River Run keeps things compact. The race is based in the historic downtown of Snohomish and pairs river-valley scenery with a full menu of shorter distances on the same morning.
Course
The marathon follows the Snohomish River through open farmland with evergreen ridgelines in view, starting and finishing at 1st Street and Avenue D in the old downtown. The profile is flat and the roads are quiet, which makes the race friendlier to steady pacing than most fall options in the region.
Race-day weather
Mid-October in western Washington usually brings cool, damp mornings in the 40s and low 50s. Drizzle and gray skies are more likely than wind or heat, and many runners find the conditions close to ideal once they warm up.
