About the Event

The Fidalgo race returns to Anacortes, Washington on September 26th, featuring a variety of distances for runners of all levels. This event is organized by Evergreen Trail Runs and includes the half-marathon, marathon, and a 5-mile run, each offering unique views along Bowman Bay Road and surrounding areas. The race starts at dawn with participants gathering in anticipation near Rosario Head Loop, where they will have an opportunity to see miles out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca before heading south through Lighthouse Loop and Lottie Point Loop.
On race morning, temperatures hover around 14.8°C as runners navigate the course starting just north of Anacortes at Bowman Bay Road. The weather conditions are typical for early September in Washington State, with an average humidity level of 83% and a small chance of light precipitation that could affect some stretches near Deception Pass Bridge but is unlikely to impact overall race performance significantly. Runners will find the terrain offering firm yet slightly soft trails perfect for racing shoes.
Fidalgo has been running since its inception in 2010, maintaining strong traditions each year with thousands participating annually across various distance categories. The event supports local communities and features stunning ocean views along scenic routes throughout Deception Pass State Park. This race is not just about the run; it's a celebration of trail-running culture and community spirit.
The Fidalgo course includes multiple loops starting at Rosario Head Loop, where runners will enjoy panoramic views before retracing their steps to cross over the iconic Deception Pass Bridge for half-marathon and marathon participants only. The bridge, standing approximately 180 feet high above water level, remains open during race times but is equipped with a dedicated pedestrian walkway on each side of its two lanes.

Bib pickup will be available on Friday, September 23rd from noon until 7pm, located within Anacortes Community Center.
