About

Galloping Gertie - Gig Harbor offers a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles) on the iconic Tacoma Narrows Bridge, known as Galloping Gertie, which links Tacoma and Gig Harbor, Washington. The races take place on July 31, 2027, with staggered starts at 8:00 a.m. for the half marathon, 8:15 a.m. for the 10K and 8:30 a.m. for the 5K.

Participants can take in views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. The bridge is historically significant for its 1940 collapse, caused by aeroelastic flutter, which made it famous around the world. Today's structure consists of the westbound bridge, dating from 1950, and the eastbound bridge, dating from 2007. Every participant receives a custom medal, race photos and a technical T-shirt. Proceeds go to local charities.
