Run Oregon — Guest Blogger
“The rest of my run was rather quiet.”

This runner chose the Wenatchee Marathon 10km instead of the half marathon and ran beside the Columbia River. A steep pedestrian bridge near the finish was difficult, but holding the speed to the end secured the goal.

“I love all the support that we had waiting for us to finish.”

Terri J. Wiley chose an early start for a first Wenatchee Marathon and drew support from family and friends. Mostly walking late on, the runner crossed the final bridge to finish in 6 hours 27 minutes 11 seconds.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

BIB and race-packet pickup is available on Friday afternoon before the race from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Performance Footwear and Outdoor Gear in downtown Wenatchee,

according to the previous year's schedule.

On race day, the Wenatchee Marathon Event Center in front of the Numerica Performing Arts Center serves as the hub,

with distance-specific start lines opening between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. An early start for marathon walkers is offered separately at 6:30 a.m.

The course is mainly a flat asphalt trail along the Columbia River on roads closed to traffic, with few hills.

It is therefore promoted as a popular course for runners targeting a Boston Marathon qualifying time (BQ).

Entry fees are processed through Race Roster and incur a separate fee at checkout, so the exact total should be confirmed on the registration page.
