Be Part of the Beginning – The Inaugural Kirk-Wood Half!

Join Snohomish Running Company on Sunday, March 8th for the very first Kirk-Wood Half Marathon – a unique point-to-point race that connects the heart of Kirkland to the charm of Woodinville. Starting at Marina Park with stunning views of Lake Washington, runners will cruise along Lake Washington Blvd before joining the scenic Cross Kirkland Corridor Trail. From there, it’s a journey through neighborhoods and nature—from Totem Lake to the Sammamish River Trail, finishing strong at Wilmot Gateway Park.

Don’t let the hill at mile 2 scare you—it’s the only one! After that, it’s smooth sailing on a mostly flat course, with an awesome downhill boost from miles 8 to 10 to help you crush that PR.At the finish, celebrate your accomplishment with a shiny finisher medalhot cider, and Pop-Tarts—yes, really! Plus, all runners will receive a cool new swag item (to be revealed this August!).

Optional pre-race shuttle from the finish to the start is available for just $10. Carpooling encouraged! Registration opens Monday, June 23rd, with Super Early-Bird pricing available for just 24 hours!
