Want to run a gorgeous scenic course on country backroads and along waterfront coastline? See snow-capped mountains, beaches and wildlife... Join us for The Whidbey Island Half Marathon. There is nothing like Spring in the Northwest!
Whidbey Island, the perfect Island weekend getaway... leave the city behind... Whidbey Island is approximately one hour north of Seattle, WA.
You will be going over the hills and through the dales, and yes, Grandma does live in Coupeville. Do you have the stamina and guts to pay her a visit? Some people will do anything for cookies and milk........
This course is USATF certified and is a Boston Qualifier..
From Canada and points North: Take I-5 to the Anacortes exit. Proceed West on Highway 20 and follow signs to Oak Harbor.
From Seattle and points South: Take I-5 North. You then have the option of taking the Mukilteo ferry (every half hour) across to Whidbey Island and driving up to Oak Harbor, or continue North to the Anacortes exit. Proceed West on Highway 20 and follow the signs to Oak Harbor. Whidbey Island is approximately 90 miles north of Seattle.

Check the ferry schedule prior to race day. As of this posting, the first ferry of the day will not get you to the island and allow sufficient time to reach any of the start lines prior to the start of any of the races.
