Run for a Day, Play for the Weekend
If you looking for a weekend gatewate, Whidbey Island is the perfect island where you can leave the city behind. Just north of Seattle, relaxing water view in Washington State’s Puget Sound is in Whidbey Island. As a destination vacation playground for many, the island provides a vehicle accessible getaway from the busier mainland. Providing picturesque ocean views and tranquil farmland, the full marathon and half marathon courses promise to be scenic from country back roads to waterfront coastlines, snow-capped mountains and rolling hills.
