February 19th is the 44th Annual Birch Bay Marathon and they need our help! We need 6-10 people to help man or “woman” the aid stations. All you have to do is hand out water to the runners, cheer them on and have fun!
This race has been a wonderful boost to the Birch Bay economy and we as business professionals owe it to ourselves to ensure they keep coming back!

The Race
Sunday February 19, 2012 at 8:00 am will mark the 44th running of the scenic and historic Birch Bay International Marathon, managed and directed this year by Joel Pearson, whose father Jim Pearson created and directed this year for many years. The race will start and finish at the south end of Birch Bay State Park.
The marathon course has been certified (certification code WA 06002 BL) and the race serves as a qualifier for the 2008 Boston Marathon. The course is unchanged from 2007. See www.bostonmarathon.org for qualifying times, noting that the small-print permits a 59 second grace period beyond the listed times for each age group.
