Directions to the Race: I have a google map HERE. Because there is no physical address for the park, the closest we can get is 3200 N. Shore Drive. If you are using google maps, your destination will be North Shore Drive, Bellingham. The North Lake Whatcom Trailhead/Park is near the end of N. Shore Drive (south east side of the lake). Follow N. Shore Drive until you get to the park, you'll take a left. We are staging the race in the upper parking lot and will have parking volunteers to help you find a place to park. Please carpool, we have limited parking!! The County has a description on how to get to the park on their website: http://www.co.whatcom.wa.us/parks/trails/nlkwhatcom.jsp
