Food Pavilion
Located on Old Fairhaven Parkway, this Fairhaven grocer and pharmacist has Lynden roots and is part of the local Brown & Cole family of stores.  After the race, you'll enjoy fresh fruit, delicious cheeses, and tasty crackers, courtesy of Craig and Sue Cole, Tracy Olney, and the store team.  Huge thanks for all the positive energy that Food Pavilion brings to this community.  "Please the customer first" is Food Pavilion's motto.  They always do.

Back In Motion
Dr. Cherrelyn Seegers and her medical team provide the very best chiropractic care and massage therapy.  Dr. Seegers is a runner and a former competitive triathlete, and so she understands the psyches and bodies of multi-sport Whatcom athletes. She is a favorite speaker at the free fitness forums at Fairhaven Runners & Walkers.  Her practice is in Fairhaven at 1215 Mill Avenue, and her post-race treatment tent - with expert services all for free - is always a welcome sight at local races.

Adventures NW Magazine
With trail shoes, paddles, and bikes, we Pacific Northwesterners take to the outdoors with multisport zeal.  Three years ago, Adventures NW magazine captured that spirit, wrapping thoughtful words and gorgeous photos around our athletic, nature-loving souls. Publishers Paul Haskins, Alaine Borgias, and their Outward-Bound-son Finnian, know how to tell excellent adventure stories.  Just as expertly, they also know how to give back to their community, and we thank them for their support.
