Parking
Parking is available on-site at the airport (Hub Parking Lot) and along 26th Ave NW and Stone Dr NW. We encourage you to carpool with friends and family to limit the number of cars parked along the road. Parking controls will be on hand to direct you. Please follow their directions. You can only park on the dirt shoulder of the area roads. Please do not park on the paved surface. DO NOT park on the section of 26th Ave between the Airport Gate and Stone Drive. This section is part of the race course. You may park in areas shown in Green on the map as there is plenty of room on the dirt shoulder.
The Half Marathon race will start and finish at the Tacoma Narrows Airport. Enjoy running through the old-growth forests of the Key Peninsula. Make your out-and-back across Galloping Gertie with stunning views of the Puget Sound, Point Defiance, Vashon Island, Mount Rainier, and the Olympic Mountains.
The 10K course will feature a mostly out-and-back across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
The 5k course will run to the bridge and return to the airport on the lollipop course.
