My Better Half Marathon

The My Better Half Marathon takes place in Seattle, Washington, in early February, at Seward Park, with all three races starting at 8:00 a.m. Runners choose the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K (6.2 miles) or the 5K (3.1 miles).

The event celebrates running, love and friendship, and participants can register in categories such as Bromance, Besties, Lovers or Lonely Hearts, or as individual runners. Individual and relay options are available, and the courses combine hills with flat sections. Registration includes a long-sleeve shirt, a finisher medal, a bowl of oatmeal afterward and race photos. Organized by Orca Running, the race supports Rebuilding Seattle Together. February in Seattle often brings rain and temperatures in the 40s, so pack a layer you can keep dry.
