The race course map for the first-ever Rock n’Roll Seattle Marathon, scheduled for June 24-27, has been released.

It starts in Tukwila, on Interurban Ave South at the Foster Golf Links, then winds its way up past Boeing Field and through Seattle, ending at one of two finish lines in Pioneer Square (depending on whether you’re in the full marathon or half marathon).

The Rock n’Roll Seattle Marathon & ½ Marathon is now part of a national series of eight musically themed marathons and half-marathons. The 26.2 and 13.1-mile courses will run past many of the city’s notable sites and tourist attractions and feature live bands and cheerleaders along the courses at each mile.

Here’s the map:
