DETOUR ROUTE-If you are coming from south of Mt Vernon, there has been a bridge collapse on Interstate 5 on Thursday, May 23rd. Leave yourself extra time to take the detour route if you are coming from south of Bellingham. Here is the suggested DETOUR route as shared by the Washington State Department of Transportation:
Experience the legacy of the 1911 Mt. Baker Marathon and discover the "Ski to Sea" race held in Bellingham, Washington, USA every Memorial Day weekend. More than a race.
The Ski to Sea Festival includes a 93.5 mile relay Race of seven venues from Mount Baker to Bellingham Bay encompassing seven different sports. The Festival also includes a community block party with music and food, a Junior Ski to Sea Race, a historical hometown parade, and other special events that provide a wide variety of entertainment and adventure for all who participate.
A Ski to Sea Race team consists of 8 racers (2 in the canoe leg) for the seven race legs (Cross Country Ski; Downhill Ski/Snowboard; Running; Road Bike; Canoe; Mountain Bike; Kayak). A racer can only be on one team, and only complete one leg. We also recommend a support team to carpool the team to the different race leg venues. From the top of Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay, discover Whatcom County's recreational playground and the 'Ski to Sea' Experience.
The Ski to Sea Race is a program of Whatcom Events, a community non-profit organization.
