On September 25, 2027, runners will converge on Deception Pass for the Evergreen Trail Runs Marathon and Half-Marathon, weaving through scenic loops that offer breathtaking views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The race begins with a picturesque loop around Rosario Head before dipping southward into the Lighthouse Loop and Lottie Point Loop, where 5-mile runners will turn back towards the finish line while half-marathoners and marathoners continue on to Pass Lake.
The course then crosses Deception Pass Bridge, an engineering marvel that soars 180 feet above water. Despite being open to vehicular traffic during race hours, runners remain safely on a pedestrian walkway, enjoying panoramic views of the bridge's arches against the backdrop of Puget Sound and distant islands. After crossing the bridge, participants head into the Goose Rock Loop before concluding with an out-and-back segment along West Beach.
Organized by Evergreen Trail Runs since 2010, this event is a testament to Roger Michel and Yumay Chang's vision for trail running in Washington state. With sustainable practices at its core, Evergreen Trail Runs offers runners the chance to experience some of the most stunning coastal landscapes while supporting local race production through their sister brand, Orca Running.
Participants should be aware that cancellations or deferrals are subject to specific policies and deadlines outlined on the event website, ensuring a smooth process for those who need flexibility with their registration.
