Latest Race Updates

 

Welcome to the 2011 Lake Samish Race. Online registration for this event will open starting November 1, 2010 and will be available until 2 days prior to the race. This year we will have chip timing! We will also have an extra shuttle van to help get runners from the Lake Samish Park & Ride parking lot to the race start quickly and efficiently. Like last year, we will be offering an optional long sleeve technical shirt with race info printed on front for $18. We may be selling the shirts on race day if there are any left, but quantities are limited. We can only guarantee a shirt to those runners that register and purchase a shirt online.

 

Note: we will not be able to exchange shirt sizes on the day of the race.

 

We will allow runners to register on race day but strongly encourage people to use online registration to help us plan accordingly. The links for the registration are found below.

The roads are not closed to traffic.
