Ski to Sea Weekend is here

A team os made up of 8 racers (2 in each canoe) competing in seven legs of the race (Cross Country Ski; Downhill Ski/Snowboard; Running; Road Bike; Canoe; Cyclocross Bike; Kayak).

The Ski to Sea Race from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay began as the Mt. Baker Marathon held from 1911 to 1913. The marathon challenged man and machine in the face of rugged terrain, taking participants over treacherous roads and trails to the top of the mountain and back. Racers had the option of using cars or train to help them get to the point at which they would have to start running up the mountain side.

In 1973 the Mt. Baker Marathon was reborn and took the name, the Ski to Sea Race. The relay was designed to display the recreational opportunities and the extreme and varied beauty of Whatcom County. The Race has consistently attracted participants from around the world.
