The Experience
The Evergreen Half Marathon is a USATF certified downhill point-to-point race on the Centennial Trail, starting at Getchell Trailhead and finishing at Averill Field in historic downtown Snohomish. Dubbed the 'fastest paved half in the Northwest,' its net downhill profile and fully paved surface make it a prime candidate for personal bests.
The course winds along the scenic Centennial Trail, a paved rail-trail that offers a gently descending route through rural and small-town backdrops. With a median field of around 344 runners from 14 states, the atmosphere is intimate and community-driven, organized by the Snohomish Running Company. The race includes chip timing, a finisher medal, and a race tank, with an option to save $5 by opting out of the shirt.
The finish at Averill Field brings runners into the heart of Snohomish, where the low-key vibe and efficient logistics make for a smooth race-day experience. For those seeking a fast, certified course with a small-town feel, the Evergreen Half delivers a straightforward, high-quality event.
