Staying for the weekend of the Dash? Why not? We have an informal, free paddlin’ fest and demo day while our sponsors get set up on Saturday, and an awesome evening of carbo-loading chow at Cornet Bay Retreat Center on Saturday evening.
You can camp at Deception Pass State Park, grab a room at any local motel, or take advantage of some very cool offers:
Crash with your fellow racers in a bunkhouse close to the race course at Cornet Bay Retreat Center, for $20… or combine it with a delicious pre-race carbo load from The Hungry Paddler for just $25 per person. Space is limited so sign up asap on the Dash Registration Page.
Try the Acorn Inn, in downtown Oak Harbor. Dash special — $59 for one night, or $54 per night for two nights. For more info call Gary at the Acorn, 360 675-6646, or check their web site.
The Best Western Harbor Plaza, at the north end of Oak Harbor less than 15 minutes south of the Pass, has generously offered their 2-Queen rooms for $79 per night including a nice breakfast on race day. Please call their front desk at 360-679-4567, rather than using their online registration system, and refer to Deception Pass Dash for the premium rate.
