Seattle Kids Marathon

Post-Race Review/ Results

A gallery of photos taken during the 2023 Seattle Marathon on Sunday, November 26.

"Don't forget to stretch!": Thousands of runners fill city streets for Seattle Marathon

Pre-Race Review/ Lineup

From a group of 38 University of Washington friends in 1970, Seattle Marathon now impacts traffic on its route.

Historic Seattle Marathon tradition shuts down streets Sunday

Are marathons no longer organized by runners?

Average Marathon - Nothing overly special

Beautiful views and excellent support crew.

A good fall marathon in the Pacific Northwest

Great place to combine a holiday plus a run

Great course, medal and shirt get one star

Nice course; listen to feedback on organization

Great Course, Perfect Weather, Bad Recovery Set

Beautiful course, crappy t-shirt, greedy runners

Gorgeous course, but logistics could be improved

Really great race - not sure why more don't do it

Worth doing but a few improvements suggested

Disappointing changes since I last ran Seattle

I loved this marathon, but where was my food?!?!

A firm favorite. Demanding without being too hard.

Top-quality event. Organization is excellent.

What a great experience - sunny and scenic!

Phew - they weren't kidding about those hills

Well Organized, But Unfavorable Time of Year

Overall good... but why at the end of November?
