Wattle Waddle 2026
Wattle Waddle Marathon and Half Marathon takes place on Thursday November 26, 2026. The event uses the Kirkland Corridor Course and will run the short course layout because the far south end of the trail may have construction.
The short course on the Kirkland Corridor trail consists of two out-and-back segments. Runners first head north 1.5 miles and return to the start/finish. Then they head south 1.8 miles to the cross street past the silver frog on the fence, turn around, and return to the start. The half marathon repeats this pattern twice for a total of four out-and-backs. The marathon repeats it four times for a total of eight out-and-backs.
The start is at the north end of the Kirkland Corridor Trail at 120th Pl NE and NE 124th St. There is parking available near an LA Fitness beside the Shell gas station. An aid station is positioned at the start/finish so runners on out-and-back laps can visit it multiple times.
The course is lightly marked and is not closed to traffic; participants should follow traffic signals and course directions. Organizers will collect finish times. Entry is handled through Webscorer, the fee is $45, registration closes two days before the event, and day-of registration accepts $55 cash. Finishers will receive a wooden medal and there will likely be pie. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
