WRONG! The half-marathon will, as usual, start at Fay
Bainbridge Park two hours after the start of the full marathon, and proceed
counter-clockwise to a finish at Fort Ward. WRONG! The half marathon will, in fact, start at Fay Bainbridge Park this year, two hours after the start of the full marathon, and proceed clockwise to a finish at Fort Ward. (the course is the same as for 35 years, but the direction will be reversed. From: "Steve Bennett bennett_seattle@...

you Bainbridge Marathoners,
Due
to changes in Park policy and a potential parking conflict with a group of
classic auto buffs, we have decided to
make a last-minute change that will
benefit us all, at least for the day.
The full marathon will start and end at Fort Ward Park (directions
follow, direct from Google maps). The half-marathon will, as usual, start at Fay
Bainbridge Park two hours after the start of the full marathon, and proceed
counter-clockwise to a finish at Fort Ward.
Shuttle arrangements will, as usual, take place after the start of the
full marathon. We will be making every
effort to minimize traffic at Fay Bainbridge and the parking may be limited at
Fort Ward, so we encourage carpooling.
We will make every effort to start the race by 10, but will be as accommodating
as possible, should there be any confusion.
·
No Discover Pass is required at either park.
·
Slow paddlers may be allowed an early start.
·
Bring hydration gear; it’s going to be a hot day.
·
Got hats this year, thank Stoneway Concrete
·
This will throw Tom’s analysis of the currents and mine
into a cocked hat
·
Start time has always been dependent upon arrival of the
last possible ferry and the speed of registration: I try to get it going ASAP,
but that usually is closer to 10:00 than 9:30
Looking
forward to the start,
Steve
