Chuckanut 50k

Chuckanut 50k The Chuckanut 50k is a community-driven, ultra-endurance trail race based in Fairhaven, WA.

The Chuckanut 50k race is celebrating its 25th event on March 18, 2017. The community-driven, ultra-endurance trail race is based in Fairhaven, WA, and often called one of the most competitive races in the region. The stunning course is suited to all levels of athlete, from novice to most experienced. The 25th anniversary event has been named a selection race for the 2017 IAU Trail World Champions

hips in Badia Prataglia, Italy, for both Team USA and Team Canada. In 2017, the course starts and finishes in Fairhaven Park and utilizes the Interurban Trail to access the beautiful single-track trails of Chuckanut Mountain. Runners climb to the ridge, catch a glimpse of Mt Baker (on a clear day), descend near Lost Lake and revel in the last climb up little Chinscraper. The Interurban awaits, and runners see what turnover they have left in their return to the festivities in Fairhaven Park. Registration for the 25th anniversary edition of the Chuckanut 50k begins on December 1, 2016 at ultrasignup.com and is limited to 500 runners.

In the early years (early 2000s) our medical plan was to alert the local hospitals of 300 people running in the Chuckanuts and my Mom (a registered nurse) who was also serving soup at the finish line. As the race has grown and the sport has boomed advancing our medical has evolved as well. We are so thankful for the professional service provided by - from connecting with the local emergency services, coordinating finish line staff including the local high school Athletic Training program, to building a 20+ page emergency action plan and helping greet all runners at the finish line with massage and PT.

Bellingham benefits greatly having this all encompassing service for events and our day to day lives! Thank you Prime Sports Institute for keeping us strong and moving!

Did you know that Chuckanut 50k race HQ bases out of the KUL chocolate factory? provides space to sort aid station supplies, receive sponsor gear and, the best part, everything smells like chocolate! 😄. Chocolate bars enter our age group prizes and we stay well snacked in the lead up 😉. We’ve done a special anniversary KUL chocolate bar to benefit Girls on the Run and when it all boils down to it, we get to work with the best humans. 🤗
