Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon!

With Thanksgiving weekend approaching, that can only mean one thing for new and veteran runners in the Seattle area: The Seattle Marathon is almost here.

The Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, November 26th. The marathon starts at 6:00 am and the half at 7:00. Both races start and finish at Husky Stadium. Go dawgs!

In typical Seattle fashion, the marathon course will be hilly. For anyone wanting some extra practice getting those hills in, they can always run over to Capitol Hill and work on those tough hills that make up miles 8-12 of the marathon. One of the great things about running the Seattle Marathon is that it includes routes that most local runners are familiar with, from the Arboretum to the 520 bridge to the Burke Gilman trail. No scary surprises on race day!

This year, for the first time, the Seattle Marathon includes a non-binary registration option. This is an exciting move towards greater inclusivity in the running community.

Any seasoned marathoner will tell you how important fueling is to a successful race day. The race is providing Nuun hydration, which we stock here at Super Jock ‘N Jill if you’d like to test it out.
