Running

Visit Bellingham and there is a guarantee to find quick access to a wide-variety of the best Pacific Northwest trails for both urban and trail running. 

Just in town you can run up hills in the forests, past giant waterfalls and streams, along the ferny, mossy shores of one of Bellingham’s large lakes, or beside the shore of Bellingham Bay. This high amount of trails also makes Bellingham the perfect home for legendary races like the Chuckanut 50k.

Team Bellingham is made up of a group of local athletes chosen to represent Bellingham and compete at local races, as well as across the country and around the world.

        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.
