Which nights should you book for Ninja 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Olympia, WA (34)?
Book the night before the race — 21 August 2026 — as race morning starts before dawn and you’ll need to be at the start line early. Also consider booking the night after — 22 August — since finishing a marathon leaves little energy for travel, and road closures on race morning may complicate departures later that day. If you’re only attending for the race itself and plan to leave in the afternoon, confirm with your hotel whether late checkout is available.

All listed hotels are within 1 km of the venue in Olympia, and the start line is at the same location. The Governor Hotel is 0.54 km away, DoubleTree by Hilton is 0.59 km away, and the furthest listed option — Quality Inn Olympia Near State Capital — is 0.93 km away. Road closures on race morning will affect car access, so walking is strongly advised. None of the hotels are described as having on-site parking details, and no transit routes or walk times are provided — check with your hotel about accessible entry and lift availability, especially if stairs will be difficult after the race.

Options near the venue include casual spots for post-race meals and drinks, though specific venues aren’t listed.
