## Why go

It's a reason to get out the door on a dark December Saturday.

The half marathon starts at 8:10am, the 10K at 8:40am and the 5K at 9am, all from downtown Tacoma.

## Good to know

Entry is $105 for the half, $70 for the 10K and $55 for the 5K until prices go up after October 19, 2026, plus a $2 surcharge.
