  Join us for our first EVER Annie Curtis Community Run!

  Railroad surveyor Amos Bowman and his beloved wife Annie Bowman (maiden name Curtis) first arrived on Fidalgo Island in 1877.

  Amos Bowman saw the sight as the “New York of the West” and encouraged business and industry to utilize its deep-water harbor and railroad. A post office was established in 1877 then in 1891 the city was officially incorporated. The name…. Anacortes (after Annie-Curtis!)

  Amos must have really loved Annie to name a whole town after her. And what better way to celebrate their love and the special town they founded than to join us on a free community 5K route highlighting and touring beautiful downtown Anacortes!?

  We will begin at the Depot Arts and Community Center which is a Historic Train Depot - locally known simply as “The Depot." We will then head out along the marina waterfront to the foot of Cap Sante, circle back through scenic downtown neighborhoods past historic homes, through the intricate stone-work of Causland Park, under the Anacortes welcome arch, along a short section of local favorite Tommy Thompson Trail (watch for otters), around the Seafarers Memorial, back along the marina waterfront, past the Annie Curtis sculpture, alongside the WT Preston snag boat and Maritime Heritage Museum and end up back at the The Depot.

  Post run, we will celebrate our accomplishment with community, refreshments, and giveaways at the locally famous Rockfish Grill. Rockfish Grill will be providing 10% off food and beverages for this event (thank you Rockfish)!

  Anacortes is such a magical place. We hope to make this a fun community event enjoyed by all. All paces and friendly furry friend's welcome. We can’t wait to run with you!

  FORGE is a race built around a unique and growing format known as the "backyard ultra." Unlike traditional races where runners aim for a set distance or time, backyard ultras follow a simple but demanding structure: runners complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour. Whatever time remains after finishing a lap becomes their rest period before starting again at the top of the next hour. This continues until the event reaches its predetermined duration—in FORGE’s case, 12 hours.

  The format is gaining popularity worldwide because it removes the pressure of speed and replaces it with a test of endurance, pacing, and mental toughness. Fast runners and steady runners line up together every hour. Everyone starts at the same time, and the race unfolds differently for each participant. Some will aim for a personal-best distance, while others will push to complete all 12 laps.

  One of the most unique aspects of this style of racing is the community it creates. The time between laps—when runners gather, recover, and prepare for the next start—becomes a shared experience. Conversations happen. Encouragement is exchanged. Whether you’re completing your first backyard-style event or chasing a new personal milestone, you’re not doing it alone.

  At its core, FORGE is about stepping into a challenge and discovering what you’re capable of. There’s no finish line waiting for you at a set distance—just another lap, another opportunity to push forward. It’s an event designed to be hard, but also to be welcoming, rewarding, and deeply memorable.
