Fort Ward parkrun Recurring

Bainbridge Island's beloved spring running event is back!

Join Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation in running or walking a 10K or 5K on a scenic wooded course from Battle Point Park, along the Forest to Sky Trail, and looping among the towering firs of the Grand Forest. An early Kids Fun Run course is within Battle Point Park.

Run for the Trails

Trillium Trail Run supports our Trails Connect Bainbridge Island campaign, to build new trails around the island. All race proceeds benefit trail development.

Race packets, including timing chip-integrated bib, will be distributed the morning of the event.

The Great Ferry Race is unlike any other race you’ve ever done. Participants will board the ferry in downtown Seattle by walking on, enjoy the scenic 35 minute crossing to Bainbridge Island, and then assemble on the car deck and walk off. This half marathon race will start on the ferry dock and take runners all around scenic Bainbridge Island. The course is approximately 2/3rds road and 1/3rd groomed trail. After the run, enjoy the post-race festival before picking a return ferry of your choosing back to Seattle.

Please note that this is a hilly course, compared to most Orca Running events, and that approximately 1/3 of the course is on Bainbridge Island trails. The trails are not technical and do not require trail running experience, but runners that experience difficulty while running on trails should probably not run this race.

Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County residents who don’t need to take the ferry are welcome to attend–please select the Bainbridge resident option when registering.
