Packet pickup is available at the Bellevue REI in the days leading up to the race or on race morning at Redmond City Hall ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). Free shuttles are provided to transport participants from the finish line back to the start line area, and a pre-race shuttle is also typically offered ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). The event is cupless, so runners should bring their own hydration system or use the reusable cups provided ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)). Finish line parking at the state park requires a Discover Pass ([Orca Running](https:\/\/www.orcarunning.com\/lake-sammamish-half\/)).<\/p>\n
