Welcome to the Orca Half! Part of the Orca Running family of races, the Orca Half is a half marathon along the shores of West Seattle, starting at Lincoln Park and finishing at Don Armeni Boat Launch. The Orca Half benefits the Whale Trail, a Seattle-based non profit dedicated to inspiring appreciation and stewardship of whales, especially orcas.
Why should you run in the Orca Half? Here are six reasons:
Stupendous view of downtown Seattle, Blake Island, Vashon Island and Puget Sound!
It’s pretty darned flat.
People love the race! Read our reviews on RaceRaves.
It’s part of the high-quality, locally-owned, runner-oriented family of Orca Running events.
As with all Orca Running events, it benefits a local non-profit: The Whale Trail.
You might even see a pod of Orcas while running!
