About the race
Fidalgo Trail Run takes place inside Deception Pass State Park with the start and finish at Bowman Bay. The course uses loops and lollipops to access Rosario Head, Lighthouse Loop, Lottie Point, Pass Lake, Goose Rock, West Beach, and the Deception Pass Bridge pedestrian walkway.
Distances include:
- 5 mile course
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Kid's race about 0.6 miles
Elevation gain is listed by distance: 5 mile about 1300 ft, half marathon about 3300 ft, and marathon about 6600 ft. The half marathon follows forested trails around Pass Lake. Marathon runners complete the half marathon course twice. All runners cross the Deception Pass Bridge on the pedestrian walkway; the bridge remains open to traffic and has a height of about 180 ft.
Aid stations are placed along the courses. Examples of aid station locations by distance are provided in mile markers for each race. Evergreen Trail Runs operates cupless events, so all participants must carry a refillable container while on course.
The event offers a free kid's race on a gentle beachside loop at Bowman Bay, and parents may run with children. Parking at Bowman Bay is limited and requires a Discover Pass. The event provides packet pickup at the start/finish area and shuttles for offsite parking for half marathon participants. Finishers receive handmade finisher swag produced with solar power in Anacortes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
