Our Mission
The mission of the Pacific Northwest Marathon is to promote health and fitness through running. There is a fitness crisis in our country. People are suffering more and more from chronic disease, poor nutrition, and inactivity. We invite you to join our supportive community of individuals and organizations. We encourage each other to achieve new heights, overcome personal challenges, and inspire others to be more healthy. Begin your journey today by registering to run, walk, or wheel the Pacific Northwest Marathon, half, or 5K.

Marathon Training Plan
Follow us on our weekly marathon training program
Week 4 Rest is Best
This week, allow your muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and organs to recover. You must understand that the strengthening processes happen while you are resting, not while you are working out. Keep your exercise to a minimum this week. Don’t cheat yourself out of valuable time to build strength and endurance!
Week 3 Keep Going; Be Consistent
By now, you have run a total of 39 miles. You will have had some good, some bad, and some in between days with running. This is normal. Follow the advice of your Yoga instructor: be aware of your bad days, but don’t judge yourself too harshly. If you have not already done so, start a training journal. Record the details of your training and how you feel before, during, and after working out. Take photos as well. This journal will help you keep track of your schedule. It will also help you beat discouragement and boredom when they come.
Even if you run a slower than expected time, you succeed in any marathon when you finish.
"Don't stop when you're tired. Stop when you are done."
