Jill's Twelve Hour Run, Marathon and Half Marathon

Prepare for a unique and runner-friendly experience at Jill's Twelve Hour Run, Marathon, and Half Marathon, set for March 14, 2026, in Lynnwood, WA. This event, hosted on the scenic Lynnwood golf course at Edmonds Community College campus, offers participants a distinctive 2-mile loop course. Runners will enjoy a "soft course" primarily composed of gravel and dirt double track, with brief sections of single track or pavement, providing a gentle yet engaging terrain.

What truly sets this race apart is its flexible format, especially for the 12-hour challenge, allowing participants to run as much or as little as they wish throughout the day. The course is designed with runner convenience in mind: the start and finish are located at the Snohomish County District Court South Division parking lot, enabling participants to park their cars directly adjacent to the trail for easy access to personal supplies every two miles. A fully stocked aid station will be available, complete with plenty of snacks and water, and notably, pizza will be served late in the 12-hour run to fuel endurance efforts. Typical race day conditions in mid-March for Lynnwood offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 51F and lows near 39F, accompanied by an 18% chance of precipitation.

Whether you're tackling the full 12-hour endurance test, a marathon, or a half marathon, Jill's Twelve Hour Run offers a supportive atmosphere and a course that caters to varied running goals. With a start time of 7 AM and a 7 PM finish for the 12-hour event, this race promises a memorable day of running on a beautiful and accommodating course.
