20th Annual Dog Island Run
Saturday June 3, 2017
Schoolhouse Park Guemes Island, WA
10K Run starts at 10:45 AM



 

The Dog Island Run gives you a choice of 10K Run or Two Mile Walk and is located on Guemes Island approximately 80 miles north of Seattle.

Paid registration includes your choice of a variety of embroidered caps while supplies last.

Take a short ferry ride to Guemes Island and we provide a free shuttle bus to the Run site.

All proceeds from our event go to benefit our volunteer operated Guemes Island Library.



The 10K Course is USATF certified. The course is quite scenic with views of forests, beaches, and the San Juan Islands. Hills keep the run challenging.

The Two Mile Walk Event is also available for individuals and family members who want to get in on the fun of the event at a less strenuous pace.

Closed Course: No dogs are allowed on the run or walk routes. Strollers are allowed.

Water Stations and Porta Potties are located at different points on the 10K and Two Mile Courses as well as at the Park.
