Benefiting
Girls on the Run
The Kids’ Race was added in 2022 as a benefit for Whatcom County Girls on the Run. The fabulous local coaches and crew will be along the course cheering on runners, counting laps, handing out tickets and prizes.
“We inspire Whatcom County girls to build confidence and other life skills through dynamic lessons and running games.”
