Set sail for a memorable running adventure at the Pirate 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, docking in Spokane, WA, on April 25, 2026! This spirited event invites runners of all abilities to embrace their inner buccaneer across three distances: a 5K, 10K, and a challenging Half Marathon (13.1M). Typical race day conditions in late April offer ideal running weather, with highs around 60°F and lows around 39°F, alongside a mere 4% chance of precipitation, promising a comfortable and refreshing experience.

The courses, starting promptly at 8:30 AM from the entrance to the scenic Ben-Burr Trail near the Disc Golf Course in Liberty Park, feature an accessible out-and-back design. Runners will navigate a paved, tree-lined pathway, enjoying pleasant scenery as they complete multiple loops—two for the 5K, four for the 10K, and six for the Half Marathon. While specific elevation details aren't provided, its origins as a former rail corridor suggest a generally flat and fast route. Embrace the festive pirate theme by donning your best costume for a chance to win an award before the race, and be rewarded with a unique themed finisher medal upon crossing the finish line. This event is also part of the US Road Running Race Series, offering an opportunity to earn points.

With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, participants have ample opportunity to enjoy their chosen distance. Packet pickup conveniently begins 30 minutes before the race start and concludes 10 minutes prior. While specific details about aid stations are not readily available, it is always recommended to check the official race organizer's website closer to the event date for comprehensive runner information.
