Updates on Permitting process for BTRS races:
Sehome Hill Race and Blanchard Mountain Races to be replaced with other venues-- read on for more info

We have lots of news from permitting land. Most of it disappointing I am sorry to say. On a happy note, the county parks and state parks (thanks Larrabee) have been wonderful to work with.

As many of you may have heard, the Sehome Board denied any events in the Arboretum until they establish guidelines (could be a while since they only meet 8x a year). We have another event we are putting permits in for that will likely be on May 6th. We are really excited about it, stay tuned!

As for Blanchard---The DNR, after providing us with permits to complete and us handing them in (and countless hours of work, mapping, planning, website work) abruptly said, "well actually, we don't have the funds or time to allow events on Blanchard or anywhere else." Why not tell us months ago?!

Although we are disappointed that these two venues have been denied, we have lots of other ideas, and will replace those events with other ones. We are so lucky to live in a place where there are many amazing options for trail running. Thanks for your support everyone, we're looking forward to Stewart Mountain!

Tough and Scenic Trail Races in or near Bellingham!

View from the Chuckanut Ridge, Fragrance Lake 20k

We are excited to announce that there will be a new trail running series in Bellingham in 2012. We are currently in the process of acquiring permits for all the races and setting up a points system for series. For the most part, the dates and locations for the races have been chosen, but they may be shuffled around depending on how the permitting goes. Hopefully registration for February's race, the Fragrance Lake 10k and 20k, will open in mid-January. Stay tuned, and check out the race pages for more information.
