About the Anacortes Half Marathon & Flannel 5k
The half marathon follows a lollipop-shaped route that loops around the point, with water views throughout and a stretch on private gravel road through Swinomish Tribal land that is normally off-limits to the public. The road runs well in regular shoes, and there are no significant climbs. Mt. Baker is visible on clear days.
Parking is in a grassy area near the start and finish, which is on the east side of the casino property. Bibs can be picked up on race morning before the start. Dogs are welcome at the start and finish area but cannot go out on the course.

The Anacortes Half Marathon & Flannel 5k has been held every year since at least 2020. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
