the big C marathon

The big C marathon is a small, out-and-back marathon run mainly on paved trails. There will be 5 aid stations every 4 to 5 miles. Bring a bottle – we are not buying cups. Finishers will receive an engraved glass and a ticket for a glass of Cockrell Hard Cider (with proper ID).

This is a run to remind all of us to set goals, to break scary things down into smaller, more easily-digestible pieces, to keep moving forward, to hold our loved ones in our hearts, and to do something that might be terrifying with dignity – and maybe even a smile. We welcome ALL paces and would be thrilled if you decided to do this as a tribute to a loved one – knowing that we have your back, and will encourage, cheer, and not leave until you have crossed that finish line…

After race costs are deducted, 100% of the profit will be donated to cancer research at Fred Hutch.
