Course
Despite the detailed description and warnings (e.g. If in doubt, read the directions!!), people get lost on the course every year. Consider it a rite of passage.
This is an informal, environmentally-friendly event. A map and turn by turn directions will be provided at the start (with baggie), as there are no flags, marshalls or other directions.
Getting to the Start
The start and finish is at the North Chuckanut Mtn. Trailhead off of Chuckanut Dr. (Hwy 11) in Bellingham.
What to Bring?
-
bring your own aid (if you don't know what that is, better wait another year)
-
bring your own official timing system (a watch will do, even if the second hand doesn't work)
-
bring a change of clothes and especially shoes.
-
there's no cost to enter if you're a member of Club Fat Ass, but bring a few bucks to pay for showers, and to buy yourself some steamed celery and tofu at the post race get together (kidding!)
-
bring your DOG if it is well behaved, trained, and can get across the border both ways (rabies papers I think are needed?)
Post-Run Get-To-Gether
Optional post-run get together depending on weather and if people feel like sticking around Bellingham for the afternoon.
Notes
-
it's not a race, but I do keep track of your times so you have something to compare to next year
-
I hope everyone will run the same course, but won't disqualify folks for getting lost and running extra distance
-
this event is not sponsored, sanctioned, permitted or anything else that would qualify it as an official event
-
expect rain and mud, some old friends and maybe some new
