About the race
Larrabee Lakes is a trail running event that starts and finishes at Fairhaven Park in Bellingham, Washington, and uses trails in Larrabee State Park. The courses run through lush green forests, pass picturesque lakes, and traverse narrow ridgelines shaped by the Chuckanut Formation, with intermittent views of Mt. Baker, Bellingham Bay, the Cascades, and the ocean.
Distances offered:
- 12K - 1500' elevation gain
- 25K - 2900' elevation gain
- 50K - 6500' elevation gain
- Kid’s Race - approximately 1K, free
The route begins on the Interurban Trail, includes sustained climbs (including stairs to the Ridge Trail), and contains steep, rocky, and technical sections. Courses for different distances overlap in places and split elsewhere; participants must follow course markings for their chosen distance. Aid stations are located along each course; the 50K course offers a drop bag option at Lost Lake Aid Station with a maximum bag size of 20 liters. To reduce waste the event is cupless; runners must carry a refillable container.
Logistics notes: there is no event parking at Fairhaven Park; street parking is available nearby with about a 10 minute walk to race headquarters at the Fairhaven Park Picnic Shelter. The event takes place on lands historically inhabited by the Tulalip and Skagit peoples. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
