2022 here we come! Registration Filled and Waitlist is OPEN!
December started off with the awesome feeling of opening Chuckanut 50k registration. After 2 years of not being able to host the in-person event (canceled in 2020 just 10 days prior due to covid shutting things down, and our hosting the virtual run in 2021) we are very excited to bring people back together!! And will in the safest way possible. It seems our runners are just as excited as the race filled in about 36 hours. THANK YOU for that support! It feels like the best day of the month to this race director (Krissy is writing and yes, I’m putting this above other holidays in December.)
The 2022 event will take place on March 19. We are thick in the permitting process and pending trail conditions we will keep the most current route starting and finishing from Fairhaven Park. We are thankful to work with the City of Bellingham, Whatcom County Parks & Recreation, Bellingham Parks & Recreation, Larrabee State Park and USAT&F for our very important permitting and insurance needs.
To fulfill our permits we must create and adhere to a Health and Safety Plan. We are working with the Washington State Health Department to stay as current as possible. All runners, volunteers and attendees must follow these guidelines. At the time of registration we had to require vaccination of all of our runners. We are working with Pacific Multisports (our awesome registration team!) to create an online verification so we can have all runners verified before packet pick up. Be on the look out for information on how to submit your proof around February 1.
Volunteer Registration is now open. It seems this is a highly sought after roll as we filled a third of the spots in the first day of making the link live. Thank you for that support! Our sponsors take great care of the event and we in turn pass the awesome goodies on to our volunteers and runners. Our volunteers will also have to provide proof of vaccination.
For those of you completing the virtual segments in January and February, (turns out this is an excellent way to motivate and build your miles!) instructions on how to upload your results will be in your inboxes by the end of this weekend. Also, watch for shout outs on our social media channels for sponsor prizes!
