PACKET PICKUP DIRECTIONS: Turn right on Burlington Blvd. Go about half block, hotel parking lot is on the left. Packets can also be picked up the morning of the marathon at Burlington-Edison High School starting at 6:30am. Please pick up your packet the day prior to the race to avoid long lines the morning of the race.
RACE START: From I-5 take exit 231, and go south (you will be on Burlington Blvd.) Burlington-Edison High School is about 1/3 of a mile on the right. Turn right and park in the main parking lot. Victoria Street, located to the south of the high school, is the start of both races. For race control reasons we ask that all participants park in the main high school parking lot.
CHIP TIMING: All registrants will receive an IPICO timing chip that must be worn in order to be timed, NO CHIP NO TIME! The timing chip must be properly secured to the participant's shoe. If the runner carries the timing chip in his/her hand, fanny pack, etc. the timing chip will not record a time. Fasten the timing chip with the strip provided securely to the participants shoe. Timing chips are non-transferable and must be worn only by the participant to whom it is assigned. Do not cross the finish line more than once. Do not lose your timing chip. Return the timing chip at the finish line. If you are not going to run the race, and just pick up your packet, give the timing chip to the registration volunteers. A $30 replacement fee will be charged to participants who fail to return their timing chips.
MEDALS AND SHIRTS: All finishers will receive a uniquely designed heavy Skagit Flats finishers medal. A high quality technical shirt will be handed out during packet pickup to all participants. Please note that shirt sizes are not guaranteed if registering after July 31. Random prizes will be given away at the awards ceremony following each the full marathon and 1/2 marathon.
