Capital City Marathon, Half-Marathon & 5 Mile Race. Located in fun and friendly Olympia, Washington, we feature a beautiful course with rolling hills, enthusiastic volunteers, a festive post-race event with food, music, massage and swag. We are thrilled to host Olympian Jeff Galloway again who will share his experience and knowledge with our runners! Part of the Salish Sea Series, we are a Boston Marathon qualifier with a loyal following of marathon veterans, newcomers and everyone in between.

Capital City Marathon

Human Interest Story

Race organizers took a bit of a gamble this year, creating a new race course that took the runners from downtown Olympia out to Boston Harbor and back, replacing a relatively flat course with a hilly one. In revising the course, they added a lot of beautiful scenery of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and other eye-pleasing rural landscapes.

Capital City Marathon Seen as a Success
