About the Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon - Seattle
The course is a short loop repeated until you hit your distance, flat and fast the whole way. It is USATF certified, so the full marathon qualifies for Boston. Music and entertainment are posted along the route to break up the repetition. Chip timing clocks show your splits each time you pass the mile marker, which makes pacing unusually easy.
Everything happens on the morning of the race. Check-in opens an hour before the start, so there is no separate trip the day before.
