Our Interurban Sprint Sponsors also contribute to the cash purse and have race weekend presence.
Fairhaven Runners & Walkers - Since my first day as RD, Fairhaven Runners has fully supported the Chuckanut 50k. Always available, helpful and present, we are lucky to have the continued backing of this local Specialty Running Store, which creates community around running. Trails to roads, adventures to personal records, the store and its friendly staff are a great source for running gear and knowledge. Fairhaven Runners helps with Chuckanut 50k bib pick up, on-site presence and prizes for our age group and raffle awards.
Wander Brewing - Wander hosts Chuckanut 50k participants throughout the race weekend serving up locally brewed beer, cider and root beer! You’ll find Wander at packet pick-up, the race finish and hosting our after race party. Owner Chad Kuehl is a Chuckanut 50k finisher and huge running community advocate in Bellingham. Wander had grown! And now includes a second location at ROAM Coffee + Beer. Welcome to a new Bellingham hot spot.
A new addition to our sponsor family, SCARPA produces performance footwear for athletes of all terrains. This still family-owned, Italian brand formed roots in 1938 and continues the legacy with distribution world wide. The Boulder, Colorado office is excited to bring the brand’s spirit to Chuckanut 50K by offering demo opportunities to all participants, finisher prizes, and an on-site presence! For more stoke, follow SCARPA North America on Instagram and try out the Spin Planet! (RD Krissy Moehl’s favorite shoe).
K’UL Chocolates created a 30th Running Chocolate Bar to benefit Whatcom County Girls on the Run! You can buy bars here to support your training and this awesome organization. $3 of each bar is a direct donation to GORT! The K’UL crew is close friends of the Chuckanut 50k. We work in their warehouse prepping all race equipment and prizes and our runners and volunteers benefit from K’UL’s presence with a sampling on Friday night and at the finish line and age group prizes. This local to Bellingham brand is doing amazing work with chocolate on a global scale, one delicious bar at a time.
ProTec Athletics is back again with product and cash contribution to our prize purse! We love handing out the awesome self-massage and recovery tools offered by ProTec to our runners and want you to know about the many other products they offer to keep you moving with healthy alignment through the bands and braces that support while you recover. Their Injury Guide is a great resource too!
