Hilly but not ridiculous, the course was oddly enough one of my faster races. Just so happened that this year, the weather was divine!
Not sure how often that happens in Seattle! My only complaint is that the course is VERY crowded until the half marathoners turn for the finish line. This race was a lot of fun minus the hill at I think mile Volunteers were somewhat helpful. I was wondering why they did not have more bands. I … MORE. I only saw a few during my run. At the end of the race I was suppose to have my metal engraved but did not find anyone who knew where I was suppose to go to get that done.
The expo was cool they had a lot of vendors. The clothing was a little pricey. This is my second Rock N Roll race, and it was a little underwhelming. There were some scenic views but much of the course was boring in my opinion. There were plenty of aid stations although some were either understaffed or under stocked which was surprising. After an hour, I finally asked for my medal back since I had to catch a shuttle to Vancouver. They were kind enough to pull my medal and move it to next in line for which I was grateful.
One of my favorite Runcations. Lots of sites, sounds and good eating. Will be repeating this race. This is the first time I ran a Rock n Roll marathon.

When you pay top-dollar for a race, you expect everything to be the best — from the goodie bag to the course to the post-race treats. Overall, this race was a significant let-down from start to finish.
The expo was well-attended and the typical hard-sell for a bunch of cool stuff. It included the purchased tech t-shirt, plus a small bottle of fish oil and two water flavoring packets. Not even a little packet of icy hot or a mini-Clif bar. Not the end of the world, but just wanting value for money. The medal was cool, though. The morning of the race, port-a-potties were at a premium. We scrounged around at an indoor food court to get to a shorter line for men, anyway.
I lined up in my corral at 7am for race start. I was aiming for a sub time and was in corral It took me 26 minutes to cross the start line. By the time I started, my knees ached a bit from standing and I had to use the restroom again! But away I went. The race was shoulder to shoulder for the first six miles. An earlier split or allowing the marathoners to go first would have been much preferred there were 6 times as many half marathoners.
We spent four days in Seattle leading up to the marathon and found it to be a beautiful city. More than half of the course led us through downtown, around lakes, and in parks.
That was great. But a significant part of the run many miles were in tunnels. They were dark and without spectators. The tunnels were banked so that by the time I emerged, one leg was killing me due to overuse until I turned around and ran the same tunnel — then both were in equal amounts of pain! There was a multiple-mile stretch on an exposed highway, which was without spectators, without bands, and without vistas.
Between the tunnels and highway, the run was boring. I had always pictured a Rock n Roll marathon to be highly populated with cheering people and bands rocking the whole way through. Seattle did not live up to this expectation. By the time I was done, my watch showed I checked with a handful of people who finished with me and their watches ranged from That made staying true to my plan very difficult throughout the race.
There were many the first half and they were very enjoyable. The highway and tunnels were lonely and music-less. There were good crowds around the bands, but sparse or non-existent everywhere else. The way the course was designed made it very difficult for families to find a place to watch and cheer unless you have a car and could navigate around closed roads.
Yes, there was enough water and Gatorade. Yes, there were enough port-a-potties on the course. But these are not the signals of a well-organized race. These are table stakes. The Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon was poorly done on enough of the basics that it makes signing up for the race a big mistake. This had gone to smaller corrals which move better. The course was very nice along the water. Skip to content. Toggle navigation. Saturday November 27th Longsleeve Hoodie included.
We have opened most of our events up for registration. There may be COVID restrictions we have to deal with that will make our events different from the past.
We thank you for your understanding in dealing with these restrictions. Come out and run a race that directly supports the needy in Seattle! We also accept blanket donations during the race.
These blankets are given out during the winter when NW Ultras feeds the needy. They really do make a difference.
