About Us...
A Northwest Rite of Passage
Bellingham Traverse is an
endurance multi-sport challenge that simulates the life
journey of salmon. Soloists, tandem and relay teams
will compete for survival on the course that demonstrates
the urban and natural challenges that salmon face in
their journey.
Each Traverse participant (SPAWNER)
is encouraged to choose an environmental group or related
non-profit from the exhibitors at the Eco-Expo. The
green group that they choose will be whom they will
be raising funds for through pledges for their entry
fee. This event is unique in that participants have
the opportunity to choose the group that their pledges
will benefit.
Prizes
For every $500 that you raise, you get cool Traverse
gear and a raffle ticket to win the great prizes. .
The Skinny
The disciplines of the
traverse course are Run, Mountain Bike, Road Ride, Trail
Run, Paddle and TREK. The teams must finish together
as they cross the finish line. The course winds through
the scenic greenways, back roads and open water on Bellingham
Bay, demonstrating the unparalleled beauty of The Fourth
Corner.
The Volunteers
We have the best darned volunteers in the world.
Thank them when you see them!
