Chuckanut 50k responds to COVID-19

This race has dealt with rain, wind, snow, ice and we’ve had beautiful sunny days. We had behind the scenes craziness like a flooded toilet, plane crash on course, personal life chaos, overheated vehicles and many we’ve forgotten, and we continue to do the best we can to pull together

the best event we can with the best crew and volunteers ever!

This year is no exception and yet I find myself wondering how there is yet another challenge for us to handle amidst final preparations. With the information available regarding COVID-19 we have to be ready for how it could potentially impact or effect the race. I’m hopeful each of you read the warnings to wash your hands, stay home if you are sick or have any symptoms. And you’ve probably seen public events being canceled. Canceling the race is the last thing I ever want to have to do. As a team we have decided to follow the recommendations of the Whatcom County Health Department Website and their Facebook Page. As of yesterday, March 2, afternoon

We are not currently recommending community actions such as school closures or canceling events or gatherings. Personal prevention steps like washing your hands and staying home when sick keep you and others healthy.

Stay Healthy!

Please note: Our event cancelation policy is stated near the bottom of our Need To Know page.
