How do marathon participants get to the start?

Free shuttle bus transportation is provided from Depot Market Square to the start line location on Gooseberry Point before the race start (see schedule of events). Participants can also be dropped off at the start line. Participants should not drive to the marathon start unless they have arranged for transportation back to the start after the race to pick-up their car. After the marathon start, no transportation is provided back to the marathon start area from the finish line area.

The start is 20 minutes from downtown Bellingham, 10 minutes from Hampton Inn and 5 minutes from Silver Reef Hotel Casino and Spa.
