The half marathon starts on Newberry Hill and joins the marathon in at Chico through Bremerton and over the Warren Ave bridge and also finishes at Evergreen park. The race features the Manette and Warren Ave Bridges, beautiful waterfront, lush forests, quaint neighbors, and on a clear day glimpses of Mt. Rainer and the Olympics.
