Leavenworth Marathon & Half Marathon

A stunningly beautiful course in the scenic town of Leavenworth, Washington. Marathoners will start near the renowned Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. Runners will enjoy a fast course that begins with a 9 mile journey through scenic Icicle Canyon, then will turn right on East Leavenworth Road heading north in the fully closed southbound lane all the way to the Wenatchee River Bridge where they will cross into the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth to follow wooded riverfront parks and trails, eventually meeting up with Icicle Road, which leads to Icicle River trails and then once again joining onto East Leavenworth Road for a second lap following again into the riverfront trails which will lead this time to the finish and roar of the crowd at the Enchantment Park Event Center. In this amazing course, runners will encounter a mix of paved roads and paths, dirt roads, paths and trails. Surrounded by impressive mountains, participants might see salmon spawning in the rivers or four legged creatures cheering from the edge of the wild. The marathon is limited to runners who will complete the course within the six hour time limit, due to course restrictions. Walkers are welcome in the half marathon category. The half marathon course is open for four hours. The half marathon course will enjoy a downtown Leavenworth Front Street start, parading down the heart of the village before turning right on 9th Street and entering Riverfront Park. From there, the course will follow the same route as the Marathon back to the finish at Enchantment Park
