The 14th annual Bellingham Bay Marathon will take place this September 27th. The race includes a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K or full marathon relay, and welcomes both runners and walkers. Starting near Gooseberry Point, with several miles along a bluff overlooking the bay, the course features views of Bellingham Bay, San Juan Islands, and North Cascades mountains. The Bellingham Bay Marathon is often called one of the most beautiful road races in the Pacific Northwest. Not only will you have fantastic, motivating views of Lummi Island, Mount Baker, and the Nooksack River, the final mile will give you a panoramic look at Bellingham Bay with crowds cheering you into the finish line near Depot Market Square. Come experience Bellingham and “Run The Bay!”
