On 8 February 2026, My Better Half Marathon returns to Seward Park as a Valentine-themed winter race with four options: a 13.1-mile half, 10km, 5km, and a 2-person relay that splits the half marathon distance. All races start inside Seward Park and follow a lakeside loop on asphalt roads and multi-use paths around Lake Washington, combining flat sections with a brief but punchy climb near the beginning of each lap. The multi-lap format keeps runners close to the park hub, creating a social, supportive vibe with repeated cheers and views of the water. Every finisher receives a long-sleeve quarter-zip top, a medal and a hot post-race oatmeal breakfast, with free photos included. Organised by Orca Running and supporting Rebuilding Together Seattle, it blends playful Valentine energy with a well-run, community-minded event.
