Starting from the docked ferry is so much fun (and loud when the captain blows the ferry’s horn).
The course is beautiful; it’s a mix of road and trail. About 75% of the course is roads and that part is mostly out and back, while the trails are a loop. Near the dock/heart of Bainbridge, the route has sidewalks, but for the majority of the time, we run on the road. The roads aren’t closed, but there are coned space for runners, and all crossing monitored with race volunteers or local police to hold traffic. Any the vehicles that pass runners do it slowly and respectfully.
The trails aren’t that technical and the forest is beautiful. By the time you get to the trails, the pack is pretty spread out so mostly there are only a handfuls of runners around you.
There are some pretty epic hills for a road race, but nothing too awful (okay, one, but mostly we all grumble and cheer each other on the slog up). The course is rarely flat, but what goes up, must come down, and the race ends on a down hill.
I’ve done the race twice (2019 and 2023) and wore my road shoes both times.

One word: hills. There are many and rolling, about 1,100 feet of elevation gain throughout the course (according to my watch). The worst was the hill on mile 8, it’s long and steep. On the bright side, there are a lot of downhills to help recoup some time, including the last mile is downhill to the finish which was awesome. The part of this race no one talks about is the trail section — absolutely beautiful, but tough! Especially the steep descent at the start. Rough on the joints and definitely slowed me down. I would recommend practicing running downhill just as much as training for hills. Know what you’re getting yourself into, prepare accordingly, and you’ll have a great time! The course is beautiful and the race is well put on, and starting from the ferry is so cool. The feeling of finishing this challenging course is well worth all the work you put in.

This is a tough course, challenging but rewarding. Bainbridge Island is beautiful for running and the hills are steep and plentiful. If you want a challenge this could be the race to do. This is my 2nd time running it and beat my previous time. Race was well organized, friendly volunteers, great post-race snacks. Love the shirt this year. Medal is appropriately hefty to match the effort you put in to run this half. I will be running this one again!

Hills!! They’re seriously not joking. You think you’re over a hill and it’s over from there?? Be prepared for another one and another one! And throw in some trail running downhill while you’re at it if you’re not used to running on a trail.

First time running this race and I can definitely say I’d like to run it again. From the scenic ferry ride, trail-running portion, and overall pleasant views throughout the course, and very cool medal and shirt, I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience. Awesome volunteers as well and runners on the course. One of the things that has to be addressed is that it is indeed very hilly. Hill training is a must! The trails were hands down my favorite part of this race. First time doing any type of trail running and it was great. I think this race is a must if you live anywhere within Western WA.

The day starts with a ferry ride from Seattle, which was a first for me! Great views from the boat. The race started right off the boat, and featured some true trail running as well as a big hill. The aid stations were well staffed, and the course wasn’t too crowded. Overall I just wish I trained on hills more, but the race itself was well put on.

Rough, rough, rough hills and it’s always tricky to take a turn on a paved country road with a slope down to the gutters, and traffic management wasn’t great and there were a lot of grumpy impatient cars that definitely made the course less than 100% safe – BUT! The rough hills were great, the course support was awesome (excellent goo selection), and the volunteers were kind and helpful. The experience of running off the ferry was truly amazing as was the huge chunk of the course that went through the woods. I was nervous at first since my only time on a trail has been hiking. The course was really well marked and SO much fun! Thank you Orca Running for a great event! Plus the medal and shirt were way way cool (y’all always work with great artists, you know?)

Fun course, mix of road and trail running, seaside views, PNW deep forest, spots to let your legs out and others to crunch up and grab the hills with calves you didn’t know you had. Swag is fantastic and different than avg races (metal ferry boat, tee is green with ferry over the sound). Aid stations were in all the right places, almost every 2mi after 5th mile with gels, water & tasty electrolytes. Great staff, great markings, great after party spot and snacks even during Covid. Will be demanding all friends do it with me in future years!!

This race was unique and really fun! Most runners start by taking the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. The ferry ride was about 20 minutes and went by pretty quick! They had nice restrooms on the ferry, plenty of space to stretch, and Orca Running also offered a gear check (in a car on the ferry deck). After the general public left the ferry, runners went down to the car deck to start the race. In non-COVID years, all runners would start here, but for social distancing measures, Orca had runners move up a few blocks and start in small waves. Orca’s commitment to keeping runners safe was really great to see!
The race itself was adventurous! The course starts out on the road, goes to a short trail almost immediately, back to the road for 3 or so miles, and then pretty consistently is fun trails and wavy roads mixed throughout until the last 3 miles on the road.
I have to say my favorite part was running miles 4-6ish. This part of the race was entirely trail and absolutely beautiful! I felt like a gazelle running up and down short hills while dodging mud and low hanging branches. The entire experience reminded me of running in a real life video game!
The only part I sort of disliked was the hill around mile 8. I felt so wonderful up until this point, but it’s a doozy! Literally you turn a corner, run down this huge hill, and see your fate lying before you. I don’t know how steep this hill was, but I had to take a walking break. My goal was to not walk at all, so I felt a little disappointed in myself, but I think it was the right move for my body!
This race is so different, because it offers tons of elevation and several leveled off areas to practice endurance running. I truly felt like the Great Ferry Race was ‘elevation meets endurance’- a perfect combination. Orca Running always has great swag and fun medals. This medal was an actual metal ferry! Overall, I highly recommend this half marathon! I’d love to run the Great Ferry Race again in the future and actually RUN up that beast of a hill at mile 8!

This is a unique race that has it all, a fun ferry start, mix of road and trails, and a challenging course of hills! The trail was a little more challenging than anticipated, made more difficult with rainy weather. The course maintenance was excellent, everything was clearly marked and aid stations well spaced and stocked!

If you have dreams of watching ferry’s like Meredith and McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy, you will LOVE running off the ferry in this race. WA state ferry’s were cool enough to give the runners a send off honk of the fog horn! The course was partially on trail and a little hilly which was a bit more challenging than your typical road race. Good support and aid stations. Tacos and oreos at the finish! The downtown of Bainbridge Island was fun to peruse after the race and lots of good post-race brunch options that were not too busy.

Okay so another unique idea by Orca Running Events. I have done many of their races as well as hundreds of others and I am a fussy pants. The race is on Bainbridge Island which is a cute little town with a modern vibe which I wasn’t expecting. Great restaurants and shops to meander around if you are looking for a bit of a destination race. We spent the night on the island and met the ferry when it came in. Most took the ferry over that am and ran right off which was really cool to watch. They ran off the ferry and under the start arch and we were off! This is a challenging and very hilly course, and I am used to hills! Don’t let this scare you……you can walk the hills. The course is divided by 1/3 road, 1/3 non technical trail but rolling, and 1/3 road again with a downhill finish (thank god!) We ran through a really cute park which was celebrating pride that am and they were in full colors cheering us on which I enjoyed. I really enjoyed the trail portion which ended up around a golf course and back out to the road to head back the way we came. At least you knew what was coming. lol Except I didn’t remember those down portions on the way out so hmmm more damn hills!
The finish is in a little park perfect for the group size. Tacos, pickles and candy were waiting for us as Orca brings unique food to their venues (Thank you!) They always have enough for the end finishers as well which I hate when races don’t have any for them. Several aid stations along the way but wish they had some gels at them. Many had run out, but I rely on myself anyway.
Swag was great, nice t-shirt and they have been asking if we would like something else other than shirts as I have hundreds of them now. So, yes please! Always unique and great medals! They offer a bonus medal which I received at this race if you do 3 or more of their events. Yes this was great also.
Really all and all you can’t go wrong with Orca’s events. This wasn’t my favorite one of theirs but still worth doing and a fun and unique one to do.
Happy Running!

Running off the ferry boat onto the course is such a unique, fun way to start a race. Bainbridge Island makes for a scenic, charming course and as a beginner trail runner the trails portion was brutal but worth it. I was far from my PR but had a great time and hope to be back in the future. Orca Running was phenomenal and will certainly join them again soon!
