Course Overview

The BURT course is a 55K loop that links a multitude of Bainbridge Island parks and trails, with 70+% (and growing) of the course being on trail. Run through the lush firs and cedars of the Grand Forests, Gazzam Lake, and Fort Ward then take in world-class water views at Port Blakely and South Beach.

​

Each loop is comprised of over 4,000 feet of elevation with a 'vert crux' of deceptively challenging switchbacks in Gazzam Lake. This thoroughly-marked course is a mix of single-track trails, groomed park trails, and road. A limited number of well-stocked aid stations are provided.

​

IMPORTANT: On Sportsman Club Rd NE, between NE New Brooklyn Rd and NE High School Rd, there is now a complete trail from New Brooklyn to High School (see immediate pic below). The blue route line does not really show that you are on a trail. But if you zoom in on the map below the pic, you can see the trail that follows along Sportsman Club Rd. NOTE: There should be trees between you and Sportsman Club road for a majority of Sportsman. If not, you are not on the trail and likely running on the road's shoulder.
There are sections of the BURT that are private and only accessible on race day. If a trail section is marked as private, please don't run it until race day.
