The Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon is an out and back course that starts outside Cheney Stadium and follows the Scott Pierson Trail to the pedestrian bridge over highway 16. Then it winds through the Skyline residential area to the Narrows Bridge.The course crosses the bridge into Gig Harbor and then back again over the bridge.

Then you retrace your steps back to Cheney Stadium. Entering the Stadium you will run on the warning track where you will be able to see yourself finishing on a giant screen. Bagels and electrolite drinks awaited the finishers.

The first Silver Strider to finish the Half Marathon was Vladmir Andral, age 52, in 1:42:21. The first Silver Strider female to finish the Half Marathon was Amanda Hoskins, age 51, in 1:45:01 .
