About the Rock Solid Marathon, Half Marathon
The course leaves from Goldie's and The Roost in historic Coupeville and crosses the island to Ebey's Landing before winding through the Kettles Trail System. The half then follows Madrona Way past the Captain Whidbey Inn on the way back. The full adds a stretch of natural beach and country roads, then meets Madrona Way along Penn Cove for the finish.
Packet pickup is the evening before at The Roost's upstairs bar and restaurant, where there is also pizza. On race day, Goldie's serves as the hub from the start through the post-race gathering, with awards and speeches held there in the afternoon.
