North Olympic Discovery Marathon

North Olympic Discovery Marathon runs over June 5 and 6, 2027, in Port Angeles, Washington. The marathon walk sets off at 6:00 a.m., the marathon (26.2 mi) and its relay at 7:30 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 mi) at 8:30 a.m., the 10K and 5K at 11:00 a.m. and a children's marathon at 3:00 p.m. No elevation gain is listed.

Giving walkers a ninety-minute head start is a detail worth noticing: it means the marathon is genuinely open to anyone prepared to spend the day on it, not only to runners chasing a time. If that is your plan, train the walking as specifically as runners train the running — long days on your feet at a steady pace, with the shoes and the fuel you intend to use.
