Running

Bellingham has quick access to a wide-variety of the best of PNW trails for both urban running and trail running. In town you can run up rain-forested hills past giant waterfalls and streams or run along the ferny and mossy shores of one of Bellingham’s large lakes or along the shore of Bellingham Bay. Home of the Chuckanut 50k, Bellingham and Whatcom County are filled with routes and trails for the ideal run.
