Join us on some of the most scenic marathon and half marathon courses in the country. This epic trail will take you on a fast and stunning journey from a start in the mountains of Snoqualmie Pass, WA down the famous Iron Horse Trail. With Boston Qualifiers becoming harder and the need for speed a requirement, this course offers a series of fast and beautiful races that will help you achieve your marathon or half marathon PR!
The Run Super Series chose this course in North Bend, WA, located just 45 minutes east of Seattle, WA because of its beauty and close proximity to many tourist activities. Our experienced race crew will be limiting its races to 800 spots each. Run one of the most scenic marathons in Washington and one of the fastest courses in the country, achieve your personal best!
The Cascade Express Marathon is one of the fastest marathon courses in the country! This course is one of the top 20 Boston Qualifier Courses in the country with a BQ rate over 34%! Enjoy 26.2 miles of scenic downhill with gorgeous view of the Cascade Mountains as you glide down the gravel trail on this point to point course.

Great race on a beautiful course. Gentle downhill after the first 5 miles. Course is mostly packed small gravel, but a few area of loose larger gravel. Really felt those larger stones on miles 20-26. The tunnel is pitch black. They have flashlights, but would wear a headlamp if I did it again.
