This popular US Road Running series race promises a fantastic day of running for all paces, from walkers to seasoned marathoners, with a generous 6-hour course time limit. The scenic out-and-back course unfolds along a paved trail at Lowell Riverfront Park, adjacent to the Snohomish River, offering beautiful waterfront views and opportunities to spot local waterfowl, raptors, and shorebirds.
Runners can choose their challenge from a 5K (one out-and-back loop), 10K (two loops), Half Marathon (four loops), or the full Marathon (eight loops). The course, starting bright and early at 8:30 AM, is celebrated for its breathtaking scenery and is mostly flat, providing an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a comfortable long run. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race, and no on-site registration is available. Typical race day conditions in early March present cool temperatures, with highs around 50°F and lows around 38°F, and a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Every participant is celebrated with a unique themed finisher medal upon crossing the finish line, making it a truly rewarding experience. Beyond the medal, runners can look forward to a festive atmosphere, camaraderie with fellow participants, and even a best costume contest to add to the excitement.
