Parking
In an effort to be environmentally conscientious, we ask you to consider carpooling to the race! Sharing a ride will also help provide more room in Fairhaven, where plenty of free parking will be available. Carpooling with friends and family is a fun way to help us toward our goal of a more planet-friendly event!

Help Us Go Green!
We want to help lead the way toward "environmentally greener" events, where we reduce waste, reuse, and recycle. Here are ways we can work together:
  • Please carpool to race start. See above!
  • You can choose to bring your own water bottle. By bringing your own water bottle you'll help reduce use of paper cups.
  • Water at finish will be pre-poured in cups and in coolers. After use, all cups will be composted through the Sanitary Service Company (SSC).
  • Recycling and compost receptacles will be provided by SSC at race finish.
  • Efforts will be made to reduce food packaging. Food will be provided by generous local sponsors: The Market at Fairhaven, Great Harvest Bread Co., and Erin Baker's Wholesome Baked Goods.

Great Harvest Bread Company
Great Harvest Bread Co. has been a part of the Bellingham community for 30 years with owners Hans and Rene Wendt at the helm since 1996. When you walk through the bakery's doors at 305 E. Magnolia, you'll notice that it's different than the average bakery. With staff elbow deep in dough & working hard to the beat of the music, loaf after loaf of hand-made whole grain breads is cranked out in the open kitchen. Visitors will be greeted warmly and offered a free slice of bread, complete with butter and local honey. They believe in the community of their customers, giving generously to others, and creating an authentic product with simple, high-quality ingredients.
