2027 Everett Half Marathon

The Everett Half Marathon starts and finishes at the Port of Everett, where the working waterfront gives way to views of Puget Sound, the Cascade Mountains, and the Snohomish Valley. It's a setting that feels distinctly Pacific Northwest — salt air, mountain silhouettes, and a course that runs on closed roads with clear markings.

With a median field of around 460 finishers and a recent edition drawing roughly 387, this is a race that favors room to run over corral congestion. The typical winning time of about 71 minutes hints at a competitive front end, but the bulk of the field is there for the flat, fast roads and the chance to chase a personal best without fighting traffic. About 13 percent of runners come back in later years — a modest but telling sign that the event leaves a good impression.

Now rebranded as the Mill Town Marathon, the event has expanded to include a 10K and 5K alongside the half, all starting and finishing at the port. The race also offers a discounted military rate for active-duty service members and veterans. It's a straightforward, well-organized morning on the water — no frills, just a honest half marathon with a view.
