Trails to Taps Relay Registration Now Open!
Whatcom Events is pleased to announce that Registration is now open for the 7th annual Trails to Taps Relay Sunday, October 12th.
Teams of eight runners comprise this 8-leg relay run which highlights two of Bellingham’s best assets – breweries and trail running. Each leg of the 33-mile course utilizes local trails, parks and streets and then ends at a different brewery to transition to the next leg. Teammates meet each other at Kulshan Trackside for an After Party from 1-4 pm to celebrate with all the participating breweries. The event encourages costumes and features a Best Team Costume and Most Creative Baton Contest which will take place at Kulshan Trackside at 3:30 pm. This relay is 21+ only but the After Party is all ages. Each runner receives a complimentary pint glass.
Stones Throw Brewery, Kulshan Brewing (Trackside), Wander Brewing, Stemma Brewing, Aslan Depot, Bellingham Cider Co, Fountain Brewery, and Lost Giants Cider Co. are all hosting transition points and providing libations.
The Beneficiary of the Relay for the 7th year is Lydia Place. To date, our donation to Lydia Place for this event is $14,000.
