Race Information

Jack & Jill's Downhill Marathon is a fast gentle downhill course on one of Washington's most scenic trails.  North Bend, WA is located just 31 miles east of Seattle.  Runners are bused to Hyak from North Bend. After you pass through the Snoqualmie Tunnel, you can enjoy the next 23 miles down a gradual 2000-foot net drop down the John Wayne Trail on a hard-packed, shaded dirt/gravel road.  "YES," you can use your finish time to qualify for Boston or chalk up a new PR.  Either way, this 26.2-mile journey is breathtakingly beautiful and sure to be a favorite.

Jack & Jill's Downhill Marathon offers the same fast course as the Jack and Jill Downhill Half Marathon.

One of the things we like is the terrain on the course. The run follows the mostly flat Yakima Greenway, however, you'll get full views of wineries, crops, and undulating terrain unique to the region. 

Expect well supported out and back courses that are USATF certified (BQ eligible). Every participant will end up with a finisher medal and custom race shirt and a neck gaiter.
