HUGE THANK YOU TO Haggen!

As Bellingham Bay Marathon’s official Finish Zone Sponsor, Haggen helped make sure our finishers had exactly what they needed after all those miles, with nourishing snacks, fruit, carbs and more waiting at the finish line.

And this partnership is especially fitting because Haggen’s roots are right here in Bellingham. Founded in Bellingham in 1933, Haggen has spent more than 90 years serving Northwest communities while continuing to support local events and nonprofits, like WFC Rangers- Whatcom FC Rangers and Bellingham Bay Swim Team.

Apparently the secret to 26.2 is simply having friends who are also willing to make questionable Sunday morning decisions, and RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM understood the assignment. Shout out to our top 3 Finishers in the TEAM RELAY!

They split the miles, passed the baton, and came back with a Bellingham Bay Marathon win- even though some of their team managed to evade our cameras. ;)

Honestly? Friendship goals.

Bellingham, your weekend plans are about to involve a whole lot of running.

The bibs are almost on. The carb loading has absolutely begun. And somewhere right now, someone is checking Sunday’s weather forecast for the 47th time.

Marathon. Half. 10K. 5K. Whatever distance you’re taking on, we’re almost there.

A few more sleeps and it’s **Bellingham Bay Marathon weekend.**

Get excited. Get your gear together. And maybe stop checking the forecast.

Maybe. 😂

Don't miss this Shakeout Run, brought to you by Fairhaven Runners!

Saturday, September 19th- 9am from Fairhaven Runners and Walkers

Join us for a shakeout before the big run! You don't have to be registered for a Bellingham Bay race to join the fun. We will be welcoming four international runners with the Bellingham Sister Cities Association, so come say hello and wish them luck!

Sunday race participants will be touring the waterfront, so we will head the opposite direction to soak in the beautiful fall foliage for a change of pace. The run will be for time, 15 minutes out and 15 minutes back (30 minutes total) with a 10 minute pacer and a run/walk sweeper, but feel free to go whatever pace you like as the timed format allows us all to start and finish together.

There will be a limited supply of free nutrition samples from carbs fuel, a sign making station for spectators, and a few raffles post run. See you there! :-)

Location: Fairhaven Runners - 1209 11th St, Bellingham WA 98225
