Hit the Pavement at the Blaine Borderline 5K

Ready, set, GO! Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District #2 invites runners, walkers, and community members of all ages to lace up and take part in the Blaine Borderline 5K on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Blaine Marine Park. 

This 5K walk/run welcomes everyone—whether you’re striving for a personal best or enjoying a scenic morning by the water. Walkers are encouraged to participate and experience the course at their own pace.

Participants who register before May 10 will receive a commemorative event shirt. After crossing the finish line, enjoy food, local vendors, and a beer garden near the waterfront at Gateway 1890 Taphouse. Thanks to Fairhaven Runners and local business sponsors, prize drawings and gift baskets will also be part of the festivities. Children below the age of 14 are not required to register and may participate for an opportunity to win a medal.

The day’s schedule includes:   

• Doors open at 8:30 a.m. 

• Race time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. 

• Location: Marine Park, Blaine, near the amphitheater.

"This event is about movement, connection, and community spirit," said Laura Nesse, Activity Coordinator with BBBPRD2. "Whether you run, walk, or gather to cheer, we look forward to seeing everyone at Marine Park."

See you at the starting line!


The Blaine – Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2’s mission is to provide recreational opportunities, acquire and maintain sites that enhance our quality of life, and preserve the natural and recreational resources of the district.   

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
