Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon - Seattle

6/14/26, 1:30 PM

Race Information

Have you been dreaming of  running the Boston Marathon? Need to shave a few minutes off your  qualifying time? Or maybe you're just looking for the perfect course to  set a new PR? Whether Boston is your goal or not, the Bound for Boston  Marathon & Half Marathon is for you.


We are racing around Olympia  High School and the course features a 1-mile, super flat and super fast  loop, making it ideal for consistent pacing and record-setting  performances. The Full Marathon is USATF certified, making it a Boston  Qualifier.


This event is uniquely designed  for serious runners. We will have water and an electrolyte drink at the  aid table. Participants are welcome to bring their own personalized aid  to place on the aid tables, allowing you to grab exactly what you need  each time you pass. Many runners even bring a cheer crew to help hand  out fuel and keep the motivation high throughout the race.


To maintain the best possible experience, this is intentionally a small, focused event, capped at just 75 participants.


We will have a great race shirt  and finisher medals for all participants. Awards for both distances are  in the usual 5-year age groups.


Fast course, flexible support, and a chance to chase your goals—this is the race that lets you run your perfect day.

Course
1 mile FLAT & FAST loop
Both the Half & Full are USATF certified...so the Full will be a Boston Qualifier


Yes...It's a 1 mile loop.


NO...We've never had any one say it was tedious, we have had hundreds of people say it was loads of fun.


Timing:


  • Chip timed Start & Finish

  • Chip timed split every mile

  • Mile splits are displayed on timing clocks as you pass by the mile point...helping you keep on pace.


Entertainment


  • We realize that it might get a little repetitive running a 1 mile loop...so we'll have music & entertainment along the course to keep you going and motivated!


Course Cut Off


  • Because of the nature of the event, the course will close at 10:30 am (4 hour race time).


Notes when running:


1. Run the tangents...that means always run the shortest possible route.


2.  If you want to walk or run slower, no problem...we just need you to run on the right so the faster participants can get through on the shortest path.


3.  Remember...it's a one mile loop, with the .1 or .2 going from the lap count to the finish
