Whidbey Island Marathon
The Whidbey Island Marathon takes place April 25, 2027 in Oak Harbor, Washington, with multiple in-person and virtual race options. The event includes a point-to-point full marathon that begins at Bowman Bay Boat Launch and finishes at Windjammer Park. The marathon course closes the Deception Pass Bridge for that race only. All other in-person races start and finish on the Oak Harbor waterfront at Windjammer Park.
Distances offered:
- 26.2 miles full marathon, point-to-point
- 13.1 miles half marathon
- 10K run/walk
- 5K run/walk
- 1K kids run within Windjammer Park
- Virtual options for marathon, half, 10K, 5K, and 1K
Packet pickup and late registration are scheduled the day before at the Windjammer Park Interpretive Center. The 1K kids run is a loop inside Windjammer Park; parents may accompany children without registering. The kids run begins after the 5K so children can take part in the 5K with family members without a separate registration.
Virtual participants take part at a location of their choosing and submit results. Virtual registration does not equate to in-person entry; race packets for virtual registrants will be mailed, but virtual registrants are not permitted to participate in person. Event registration is conditional on receiving a Special Use Permit from Washington State Parks and surrounding jurisdictions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
