The Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon was an annual marathon held in Seattle, Washington, since 2009. The race weekend also includes a half marathon and a 5K.
It was part of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series organized by Advance Publications' Ironman Group.
The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[7] Organizers initially announced that the race would return on the weekend of June 13, 2021, as a "half marathon event" before postponing it to the weekend of August 22 and then cancelling it altogether, with entries automatically transferred to 2022.[7][8][9]
The 2022 edition was moved to the suburb of Bellevue and took place over Labor Day Weekend in early September. It featured a half-marathon and 5K in lieu of the full marathon.[10] Organizers of the Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon announced on their website that the Rock 'N' Roll Washington race series was being discontinued after 2022.[11]
