Course: Races start/finish at Samish Park (I-5, exit 246). The course follows paved, low-traffic county roads around the Lake. Although basically flat, there are a few rolling sections. The 6.5 mile race is once around, the 13.1 mile (half-marathon) is twice around, plus an extra 0.1 mile off the Nulle Road. The course will be marked with mile markers. The roads are not closed to traffic.
Entry fee: GBRC members-free
Prizes for overall men/women's winners in each race 10 year age group awards.
Due to limited parking at Lake Samish Park, carpooling is strongly advised. Also, a shuttle service to the start will be provided from the Park & Ride at exit 246. There is no parking allowed on the road along the route. Those who violate parking restrictions face being ticketed or towed (per park manger).

Please note that we are also limiting the race to 300 runners this year. This year we will again have chip timing! We will also have an extra shuttle van to help get runners from the Lake Samish Park & Ride parking lot to the race start quickly and efficiently. Because parking for this race is limited, please carpool if possible and arrive EARLY as the race will start on time! We will again be offering technical running beanies with a custom logo on front. We will not be selling the beanies on race day, but only to those who choose to purchase one by utilizing online registration.
Note: Beanies are one size fits all and there will be a NEW color scheme for the 2013 race!
We will allow runners to register on race day but strongly encourage people to use online registration to help us plan accordingly. The links for the registration are found below.
