Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon - This Saturday

With summer in full swing that means it must be time for a lovely run in the sun. Have you been training? The Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon is tomorrow and the course sounds fascinating. Starting in Gig Harbor and taking participants across the Narrows Bridge, the course will make it’s way through Cheney Stadium with the runners making a lap of the warning track around the baseball field before proceeding onto the finish line at Tollefson Plaza.
