Apple Tree Marathon

The sixth annual PeaceHealth Apple Tree Marathon, “Run Through History,” will take participants on a flat, fast and scenic course through Fort Vancouver, Officer’s Row, the Army Barracks, Pearson Airport, past the Old Apple Tree and along the Columbia River. The marathon is a two-loop, spectator-friendly, Boston-qualifying with water stations every mile. The half marathon will offer the same experience. The Sunset 5K offers a shorter distance.

A portion of proceeds will be donated to the local Police Activities League.
