Birch Bay Road Race

Birch Bay Road Race is held in Birch Bay, WA, with courses that run along the shore and offer coastal views and sea air. The route passes near habitat where eagles and herons can be seen.

Distances offered:

• 5K

• 30K

The event is cupless; participants should carry a handheld or hydration pack or use a small reusable folding cup available at the start. The 15K and 30K courses have aid stations stocked with water, GU gels and Tailwind electrolyte drink at approximate mile marks. There are no aid stations on the 5K course. Porta-potties are available at the start and finish areas and at several points on the course.

All participants receive a custom bib, participant shirt, free downloadable race photos and a finisher medal. Free gear check is provided; drop bags are not supplied so participants should bring their own bag and use provided identification tags. Parking near the start line is at Birch Bay Water Slides, with additional neighborhood parking to the northwest if that lot fills.

Awards are given to the top three overall male, female and non-binary finishers, and age-group awards are given in five-year increments; awards must be picked up on race day. The race benefits the Blaine High School Booster Club. A Club Challenge applies to the 15K and 30K, with team scoring based on the top five members.
