About

The Great Ferry Race takes place on Bainbridge Island, Washington, in early June, and combines running with a ferry ride. Participants board a ferry in Seattle and begin the half marathon (13.1 miles) from the island's dock at 8:00 a.m. The route is mainly on roads with a few improved trails.

The event is known for its hilly terrain, which may not suit runners who struggle on rolling courses. Residents of Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County can register without taking the ferry, and discounts are offered to participants under 18, over 65 and to Bainbridge Island residents. Check the ferry schedule well ahead of race morning, since your start depends on making the boat.
