SUMMARY:Whidbey Island Marathon and Half Marathon
DESCRIPTION:2021 FULL MARATHON DESCRIPTION   The Whidbey Island Marathon will once again start at Pass Lake\, north of the Deception Pass Bridge. Marathoners will wind their way south from Pass Lake\, across the Deception Pass Bridge. The Whidbey Island Marathon will once again be the only race that closes the bridge for runners! Once clear of the bridge\, runners will wind through tranquil farmland meandering towards Oak Harbor. 2020 Marathon changes start near mile 12 where marathoners will run a loop through the Silver Lake area before passing by the US Navy Seaplane Base and entering the City of Oak Harbor. From here\, the race features a downhill run towards the finish line. Runners will cruise along the waterfront as they enter Windjammer Park\, running along the promenade before reaching the finish line!\n\n \n\n2021 HALF MARATHON DESCRIPTION   The half marathon will feature a new start/finish line this year. With the completion of the Windjammer Park remodel\, the half marathon will start along the water at Windjammer Park. After leaving the park\, participants will wind their way through Oak Harbor's historic downtown area and along the waterfront before running west through the Marsh Trail to Scenic Heights. At this point\, runners will complete an out/back through Scenic Heights and Penn Cove (this section is very similar to years past). After exiting Scenic Heights\, heading towards the finish line\, runners will complete their half marathon experience along the Windjammer Park Promenade before finishing in the newly remodeled park to cheering spectators and live music!\n\n \n\n2021 10K & 5K RUN/WALK DESCRIPTION   The 10K and 5K routes will once again follow the half marathon course\, starting and finishing at the newly remodeled Windjammer Park. Once exiting\, they too will wind through Oak Harbor's historic downtown area and along the waterfront. They will also run west through the Marsh Trail to the Scenic Heights neighborhood. Shortly after\, the 5K course will turn around\, heading towards the finish line as the 10K continues along the half marathon path. After the 10K turnaround\, both races will join together again\, heading towards the finish line back through the Marsh Trail and on the Windjammer Park Promenade before finishing at the newly remodeled Windjammer Park on the Oak Harbor Waterfront!\n\n \n\n10K & 5K RUN/WALK COURSES \n\nRace Time Limit\n\nThe full marathon has a 6 hour course time limit and the half marathon has a 4:30 time limit. If you are unable to make certain check points by the time needed to meet the six-hour limit\, we will pick you up and move you forward to the next check point\, and average your current pace time accordingly to add to your overall finish time. Please allow us to do this as we have to meet road closure opening times.\n\n\n\nMore details at RunWhidbey.com
