Chip-Timed 7 Mile Course
Start at Marine Park in the historic Fairhaven District in South Bellingham. Run 6 of the 7 miles on the scenic wooded Interurban Trail. Finish with a festive musical celebration at Larrabee State Park on Chuckanut Bay. Click here for a map of the course. Chip timing ensures times are accurate and results are quickly available to every participant.
Awards
Prize money will be awarded to the first 3 male and female finishers of the race! First place will win $150 plus a pair of New Balance running shoes, second place $75, and third will take home $50. First place male and female finishers in the Masters category will win a pair of New Balance running shoes. (These Open and Masters winners will not be eligible for the age-group awards.) To add even more fun, prizes will also be awarded to the first male and female racers to reach these three checkpoints along the route: the 1st mile marker, the top of California Street, and the far side (top) of the “dip” (by the fire station). Also, the 39th finisher will receive a prize! Male and female age-group awards start with 14 and under, then 15-19, and continue in 5-year increments to 70+.
Random Prizes
Random prizes are courtesy of our many wonderful local shops and businesses and will be plentiful. They may be won by anyone who pre-registers for the race and is at Larrabee Park for the awards ceremony. (Prizes will not be available at any other time.)
Aid Stations
Two aid stations will be on the course, each about 2.5 miles apart. These will be staffed and stocked with water and Gatorade or Gu2O sport drink. Restrooms will be at start and finish. One port-a-john will be on North Chuckanut Drive at trailhead and another will be at Cleator Road.
