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.
