The annual Twisted Cider 5K & 12k run and walk is coming to the City of University Place! How ‘bout them apples!

We hope you’ll join us for the Twisted Cider 5K & 12K event! Runners and walkers will start and finish from the Curran Apple Orchard Park meandering around the quiet neighborhoods of University Place with glimpses of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Puget Sound. With gentle rolling hills along with flat and fast sections, you’re going to enjoy these courses.

Bring the whole family! The Kids 1K is a fun way to get the kids (12 and under) to participate! Parents can run with their kids and do not have to register for this distance. The course will be an out-and-back along Sound View Drive.

After the race, enjoy some snacks and wander the beautiful grounds of the park. (But please do not pick the apples. We need to save these juicy treats for the Annual Cider Squeeze!)

STOMP OUT THE STIGMA is all about raising awareness of mental wellness and eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illness. Join us in the fastest, flat 5k route in the area or a nice 1 mile race around Waughop Lake. Parking will be easy at the Pierce College Fort Steilacoom campus with a short walk down a trail to Fort Steilacoom Park. The 5k race starts by the lake where you will fly through a flat course at Fort Steilacoom Park and finish back at the entrance of the lake. The 1mile race starts at the entrance of Waughop Lake and takes you on a scenic lap around the lake. Both routes are mostly paved with a short area that is dirt/gravel. This 5k race is chip timed. The entry includes a race shirt if you register by 7/21. Finishing medals will be given to the first 200 finishers. Don't miss the chance to be a part of this great event!

Sorry… no strollers or dogs at the event because of the insurance restrictions.

Take me out to the ballgame, but first run over the bridge! Feed me a bagel and electrolytes, I just hope that my hamstrings aren’t tight!

The Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon is back, featuring a Half Marathon 10K and 5K course that begins and ends at Cheney Stadium! We’re partnering with the Tacoma Rainiers, it’s going to be a weekend full of running and baseball fun!

The Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon is an out-and-back course that will start outside Cheney Stadium, you’ll then run along the Scott Pierson Trail, cross the pedestrian bridge over highway 16 and run through the quiet Skyline neighborhood* then take you across the majestic Tacoma Narrows Bridge and bring you back inside Cheney Stadium, where you’ll run on the warning track (and where you will see yourself on the jumbotron and be able to say “Look Ma, I made it!”).

*You’ll cross the Skyline Bridge again on the way back and run the neighborhood loop again on the way back to Cheney Stadium.

The Tacoma Narrows 10K & 5K course will also start and finish at Cheney Stadium and include a lap around the warning track.
