About the PeaceHealth Appletree Marathon

The course passes through Fort Vancouver, along Officer's Row, past Pearson Airport and the historical Old Apple Tree, then follows the Columbia River for a stretch. The terrain is road and the route is flat throughout, which draws runners chasing qualifying times. There is a lot to look at, and the historical surroundings give the whole thing an unusual texture for a road race.

Several distance options share the same general course corridor, so the start area has a range of runners out at different points in their morning. The shorter distance runs the evening before the longer distances, which gives marathon and half marathon runners a chance to shake out their legs on the actual course ahead of race day.

Common Questions About the PeaceHealth Appletree Marathon

Will I finish last at the PeaceHealth Appletree Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:13:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the PeaceHealth Appletree Marathon a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 532 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the PeaceHealth Appletree Marathon?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:14 while the median finisher took 37:21. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the PeaceHealth Appletree Marathon?

Join a local run club. Vancouver Run, Grub and Chug Club and others in Vancouver welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
