About the race
The Long Bridge Half Marathon is a road race held in Sandpoint, Idaho on Saturday May 8, 2027. All distances start and end at Sandpoint City Beach and travel along paved bike paths and roads beside Lake Pend Oreille. The half marathon is a flat, fast out and back that uses the paved Serenity Trail and crosses the historic Long Bridge. The route includes more than three miles along the lake and is USATF certified for 2026 (certification number ID25005LAB), making the half and 10 km eligible as qualifying courses.
Aid is provided via four aid stations spaced at roughly three mile intervals. Event options include multiple distances and a combined series called The Dual that records results for athletes who complete both the Long Bridge run and the Long Bridge Swim. Post-race food and a finish-line celebration are provided at the finish area. Logistical notes: parking at City Beach is limited; additional street parking and a city lot on 3rd Avenue are available. Race services and awards include custom technical shirts (guaranteed with registration by April 1), personalized bibs (deadline April 1), custom finisher medals for half marathon and 10 km finishers, and overall plus age-group awards (age groups: 0-9, 10-14, 15-19, … 75+; 5 km uses 0-6 and 7-9 for under-10 categories).
Strollers are allowed near the rear of the start; pets are not permitted. No bib transfers or refunds are allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
