The Lowdown

The Appletree Marathon is a road marathon through Vancouver, Washington, billed as a run through history and presented by PeaceHealth. The mostly flat course passes Fort Vancouver, Officers Row, the Army Barracks, Pearson Airport and the Old Apple Tree, then follows the Columbia River. A quarter-mile stretch behind Fort Vancouver runs on gravel and grass. The marathon is a Boston qualifier and starts on Sunday morning, after a Saturday evening Sunset 5K and alongside the half marathon. Runners who race the 5K and a Sunday distance earn the BEAST medal. Portland International Airport is about a 20-minute drive away.
