Join us for the 3rd Annual APPLETREE Boston-Qualifying Marathon, Half
Marathon & Sunset 5K. This " Run Through History " will take you on a
flat, fast and scenic course through Fort Vancouver, Officer's Row,
the Army Barracks, Pearson Airport - the oldest operating airport in
the USA, the Historical Old Apple Tree, along the majestic Columbia
River and many other historical vantage points. There's so much to see
that the miles will fly by! This event will quickly be regarded as one
of the prettiest and most unique courses in the Northwest and perhaps
the USA! When do you get to experience a history lesson during your
race?! The quaint community of Vancouver WA will welcome you and your
family with open arms and provide you with a racing experience that
you just can't get anywhere else. The volunteer support is off the
charts and the energy along the course will make it an enjoyable
experience that you will want to return to year after year. The
Marathon will be a 2-Loop, spectator-friendly, flat & fast Boston
Qualifying course highlighting the beauty of this community and offer
an exciting racing experience with energetic water stations EVERY mile
and plenty of entertainment to keep you engaged. The Half Marathon
will offer the same experience with the joy of knowing you get to
start the party a little earlier than your Marathon counterparts! The
Sunset 5K will offer a shorter distance for our friends, family and
others in the community who would like the opportunity to enjoy the
racing experience. It will also allow for a Pre-race shake-down for
our Marathon and Half Marathon athletes and the opportunity for them
to earn the coveted BEAST medal for an athlete who races both Saturday
and Sunday. Since Vancouver WA is right across the river from Portland
OR, you are within a 20-minute drive to the PDX International Airport
and minutes away from the big city. WHY APPLETREE? Vancouver WA is
known for its history including the Old Apple Tree Park, home of the
Oldest Apple Tree in the Northwest and maybe even the entire Pacific
West Coast. The APPLETREE Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K will celebrate
all this history, capture the beauty of the Northwest and create a
theme of all things 'APPLE'. Schedule of Events: Saturday September
