Washington > Lake Samish Runs Half Marathon &
6.5-Mile Run
Bellingham,
WA
Date
Saturday, January 5, 2008
Event
Details
The first road race of the year hosted by the Greater Bellingham
Running Club, this year rang in the 30th anniversary of the Annual Lake
Samish Runs Half Marathon & 6.5-Mile Run, a loop course road
race that takes runners around the entire circumference of Washington
State's Lake Samish, near Bellingham. Run on paved country roads that
see little traffic (and remain open to automobiles during the event),
the race is mostly flat with a few rolling hills thrown in.
With markers at each mile throughout the course, the 6.5-mile race
takes runners once around the lake, while the half-marathon is a double
loop around the lake. Thanks in part to the wintry weather this time of
year, the event starts at 10:00 AM.
