THE COURSE -

The Longest Day 10K gives runners a little bit of everything - city and trail running mixed with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest including breath-taking views of the Bellingham waterfront as the solstice sun begins to set.
Starting at Fairhaven Village Green, you'll head north - towards Mill Avenue - onto 10th Street Trail in the direction of Taylor Dock. Stay on 10th Street until you reach Easton Road on your right. Take a right up Easton Road and then a flagger will direct you onto North State Street as you continue to the left. Once on North State Street, run until you reach the roundabout, where you will take a sharp left onto Wharf Street. Continue onto Cornwall Avenue until directed by a flagger to turn left onto West Laurel Street. Following rout markers and flaggers, continue into Waypoint Park. This is roughly halfway through the race and a water station opportunity. From here continue along West Laurel Street, taking a right onto Cornwall Avenue - following flagger directions.

On the return, at the top of Wharf Street, take a sharp right onto South Bay Trail following it through Boulevard Park which, although under construction, will be opened by the city for this race. Enjoy running waterside through the park as the sun sets. Continue along the boardwalk. At the top of Taylor Dock, take a right to continue along 10th Street Trail into Fairhaven and across the finish line where you will receive your race medal!
