2008 Seattle Marathon on Thanksgiving Weekend
It’s time for the annual Thanksgiving tradition. I’m not talking about the feasting. Nor the official launch of the holiday shopping season. I’m talking about a healthier choice –—the running of the Seattle Marathon!
The Marathon starts on 5th Avenue between Harrison and Mercer Streets, east of the Experience Music Project, and ends in Memorial Stadium at the Seattle Center. You can opt for a full or half marathon, and you can run, walk or go by chair, it’s all about showing up for the celebration of the Marathon.
Date & Time: Sunday, November 30th. Marathon Walk starts at 7:15 am; Half Marathon Run 7:30 am; Half Marathon Walk 7:45 am; Marathon Run 8:15 am. Wheelchair events start five minutes before the running events.
Fee: Advance registration is required, and fees vary depending on run options.
If you’re looking for another options besides shopping on Thanksgiving Weekend, challenge yourself to a Marathon. Even if you didn’t train for a run, stretch yourself with a half marathon walk and get in training for next year.
