SUMMARY:San Juan Island Half Marathon (Awaiting 2028 Race Date)
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ Estimated date — the 2028 date has not yet been announced by the organizer. We’ve kept this event visible on the calendar around its usual weekend so you can plan ahead. Please check the official race website (linked below) before booking travel.\nThe San Juan Island Half Marathon is a breathtaking destination race that showcases the stunning coastal beauty and rolling hills of one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic islands. \nCourse Highlights\nThe point-to-point course for the San Juan Island Half Marathon starts at South Beach inside San Juan Island National Historic Park and finishes at Jackson Beach\, just south of Friday Harbor. Runners will navigate a scenic route featuring three main climbs around miles 0\, 3\, and 9\, with a total elevation gain of approximately 900 feet. The course offers breathtaking\, jaw-dropping views of neighboring islands\, the Olympic Mountains\, and the Salish Sea. Aid stations are well-stocked and located every 2-3 miles\, though the race is cupless\, requiring participants to bring their own hydration gear. \nWhat Makes It Special\nCelebrated as the most scenic course in the Orca Running series\, this race offers a unique opportunity to run where the sea meets the sky. The event creates a community-focused atmosphere that supports local charities\, including The Whale Museum and the Island Haven Animal Sanctuary. Its destination status makes it a perfect excuse for a weekend getaway\, allowing runners and their families to explore the serene landscapes and vibrant culture of Friday Harbor. The point-to-point route ensures a diverse and engaging experience through one of the nation’s historic parks. \nRace Details\n\nLocation: Friday Harbor\, WA\nDistances: Half Marathon\, Kid’s Race\nNext Race Date: TBD — visit the official site for updates\n\nRace Weekend Tips\nIt is highly recommended to secure ferry reservations from Anacortes to Friday Harbor as soon as they become available\, as they sell out quickly for race weekend. On race morning\, participants should utilize the free shuttles from the San Juan County Courthouse\, as there is no parking at the start line. Packet pickup is typically available the afternoon before the race at a local venue in Friday Harbor or on race morning at the start line. Be prepared for the cupless nature of the event by bringing a reusable bottle or hydration pack. \nRegister\nReady to sign up? Visit the official registration page to secure your spot.
