Santa Runs Tacoma Half Marathon

· Tacoma, United StatesUpcoming

Santa Runs Tacoma Half Marathon is a half marathon held in Tacoma, United States, in December. The distance is 13.1 miles, run as an out-and-back route that starts and finishes in the heart of downtown Tacoma.

From the start the course heads to the waterfront and joins the Ruston Way Path, passing Point Ruston Waterwalk and Dune Peninsula Park on the way out. Runners climb the Wilson Way Bridge before turning back along the same route to the finish.

The terrain is gently rolling rather than flat, with a few hills along the way, and water views run through much of the route. The half marathon is one of several races held on the same day, with start and finish both in the city centre.

Who it's for
