Event
Details
Open to both runners and walkers, this year's Bellingham Bay
Marathon, Half-Marathon & 5K promises to be a beautifully
scenic race along the city's waterfront, as the event takes
participants on an out-and-back loop course southward from the Hotel
Bellwether along the shores of the Bay, and back again to the hotel for
the finish. Starting around sea level and flat for the first three
miles, the race becomes hilly around miles 4 and 5, reaching its
highest point at around 200 feet above sea level between miles 8 and 9.
Run mostly along paved surfaces, the race also takes runners along city
running and walking trails and features views of the nearby San Juan
Islands and Mount Baker. Outdoor activity is a favorite pastime for
residents across the city, whose natural beauty and topography
accommodates running, hiking, paddling, canoeing, and cycling in all
seasons.
