Wattle Waddle Marathon and Half Marathon

Thursday November 26, 2026

Course: This year we will be running on the Kirkland Corridor Course.

The Kirkland Corridor may have construction on the far south end of the course so we will use the short course this year.  Also in November it is usually cold and wet so this will allow you to visit the aid station at the start and finish multiple times in case you need to change or add clothes or grab a snack.
For the Short Course on the Kirkland corridor trail you first head north 1.5 miles and return to the start/finish.   Then you head south 1.8 miles to the cross street past the silver frog on the fence, Turn around and come back to the start.
The half marathon does this twice or 4 out and backs, two in each direction.  The Marathon does this four times or 8 out and backs, four in each direction.

Start is at the north end of the Kirkland Corridor Trail. 120th Pl NE and NE 124th St.  (Start map link) There is an LA Fitness where you can park next to the Shell gas station. 

Expectations:
In order to keep everyone healthy and safe please follow these expectations:
Regular start for both the half and the full marathon will be at 7 AM. If you would like to take the early start it will be at 6 AM. 
None of these courses are closed.  So please follow the traffic signals and be safe.  Also, the course will be lightly marked so follow the directions or run with a friend who knows where they are going. Because it is a holiday, we should all be finished by 2 PM. Take the early start if you need to in order to make this happen. We will collect times when you finish.
I will have a wood-al (medal) for you when you finish. Pie, there will probably be pie. Run and have fun!
