About the Run the Bay
The course loops a paved trail around Chambers Bay, near a golf course that shares the same grounds. Each loop rolls with real elevation, climbing and dropping steadily throughout, so the effort is never flat. Runners doing longer distances repeat the loop, passing the same views of the water on each pass.
Parking is reserved inside the park, with signs leading you down past the golf course entrance toward the water and the start area. Packet pickup and same-day registration both happen on race morning, before the start. Post-race, the organizers plan to stick around for a while.
