🚢 The Great Ferry Race
The Great Ferry Race is unlike any other race you’ve ever done. Participants will board the ferry in downtown Seattle by walking on, enjoy the scenic 35 minute crossing to Bainbridge Island, and then assemble on the car deck and walk off. This half marathon race will start on the ferry dock and take runners all around scenic Bainbridge Island. The course is approximately 2/3rds road and 1/3rd groomed trail. After the run, enjoy the post-race festival before picking a return ferry of your choosing back to Seattle.
🏞️ Course Details
- Hilly Terrain: Please note that this is a hilly course, compared to most Orca Running events.
- Trail Conditions: Approximately 1/3 of the course is on Bainbridge Island trails. The trails are not technical and do not require trail running experience.
- Trail Caution: Runners that experience difficulty while running on trails should probably not run this race.
