One of the Fastest Courses in the Country!

The Super Marathon is one of the fastest marathon courses in the country! This course is one of the country's top 10 Boston Qualifier Courses, with a BQ rate of over 34%! Enjoy 26.2 miles of scenic downhill with a gorgeous view of the Cascade Mountains as you glide down the gravel trail on this point-to-point course. This is the ONLY marathon course that features jaw-dropping views as you run along Keechelus Lake. With 1500’ of gradual net downhill, we assure you that you will “find your super fast” on the way to a speedy time, PR, or BQ!

Enjoy your finish with a rad custom medal and an awesome shirt! Swag also includes a Run Super Series Bag, a buff, and a water bottle!

THE COURSE

The race begins at the Hyak Trail Head at Palouse to Cascades State Park. You get your legs in a groove and along a lake for 5 miles before entering the tunnel. Runners will be spaced out and locked into a pace when entering the famous 2.4-mile Snoqualmie Tunnel. You will emerge into the heart of the Cascade Mountains. From there, you have 1500 feet of gentle downhill descent as you glide across railroad tressels, past waterfalls, and take in the endless mountain vistas! USATF certified for a BQ or just a great fast time!

SPECTATORS

Since our course is somewhat remote and epically beautiful, there are few locations where spectators can easily access the trail to watch their runner. For the half marathon, the only point reasonably accessible is the finish line. It’s best to wave goodbye to your runner at the start as they journey into the depths of the tunnel and scoot down to the finish line where you can get a front row seat to watch their epic finish!
