Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon

The Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon is one of the oldest and most respected marathon events in the United States, offering both a certified full marathon and half marathon course through downtown Seattle and beyond. This race is certified by USATF and accepted by the Abbott World Marathon Majors for Boston qualifying performances.

Both courses start near the Museum of Pop Culture on the Seattle Center campus, taking runners through varied urban terrain. Participants pass landmark bridges, waterfront areas, and diverse neighbourhoods before finishing at Memorial Stadium. The running environment is described as rolling with scenic views of the city’s architecture, lakes, and parkland edges.

Entries include timing chips, technical shirts, finisher medals, medical support, hydration and nutrition stations, pacers, expo access, and post-race recovery resources. The half marathon shares the citywide energy and logistics of the full marathon, as both events take place concurrently as part of the same weekend showcase.

This race is a popular destination event for international runners, combining performance running with urban tourism. Visitors can explore Seattle attractions such as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Museum District, waterfront promenades, and craft dining venues before or after race day.
