Run the Bay - University Place, WA

Run the Bay - University Place, WA takes place at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington, on November 8, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 8 a.m., with the 10K and the 5K following at 9 a.m. The well-groomed circuit mixes flat stretches with climbs and switchbacks and looks out over the bay throughout, on a site better known for hosting the US Open. The race is part of the Run Super Series.

Switchbacks and rolling ground reward a conservative first half, especially over 13.1 miles, so set your effort on the climbs and take back time where the course flattens. Runners and walkers both have a place here, and if the half is your target, a 12-week build with a long run growing to about 11 miles, plus one hilly route a week, matches what the course asks of you.
