Organized by Tunnel Marathons, the Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon will take place on June 8, 2025, starting at Snoqualmie Pass and concluding near North Bend, Washington. This point-to-point course begins with a unique experience as runners traverse the Snoqualmie Tunnel, a dark, unlit passage stretching over two miles—headlamps are essential. Emerging from the tunnel, participants are greeted by breathtaking views of mountains and waterfalls as they continue along a gentle, consistent downhill grade, descending over 2,000 feet to the finish line. This USATF-certified course (Certification #WA21010RMB) is celebrated for its speed, with a significant percentage of runners achieving Boston Marathon qualifying times. The event includes well-stocked aid stations, drop bag services, and a welcoming post-race atmosphere, making it a favorite among marathon enthusiasts seeking both challenge and beauty.
