Starting and finishing at Juanita Beach Park, the Kirkland Half Marathon offers a scenic tour through the five boroughs of Kirkland, inclusive of views along Lake Washington. Held on Mother's Day each May, the event offers a special opportunity for the mothers of our community. Over 65% of our race participants are female and with that we offer gender specific technical fabric shirts for our half marathon race registrants.

Issues with this one. 1) Didn't start until 7:50. Said they had course issues. 2) Walkers started at least 30 minutes earlier than runners. This was a problem on course in places where running lane was at best two people wide. Safety for runners an issue. As for the course, it is HILLY. BIG downhill from 7 to 8. LONG uphill from 4 to 5. On the plus side, nice non-white tech shirt and BEAUTIFUL weather!

This course seemed really hilly and wasn't my favorite. No medals (I know that is common for Half only races) It seemed really cold for May at the start. Didn't have my greatest race and don't need to do this one again.

Beautiful weather and view, pretty flat. I walked this one with a friend who was walking her first 1/2 marathon. Training for the Helvetia in June!
