Patagonia

Patagonia provides our quality long-sleeved race shirts, plus some additional fun prizes. The quality Patagonia brings to the trail running world is hard to beat, and we’re happy to share their products with every participant. You’ll see Patagonia at packet pickup and the race day finish line — and we’re looking to integrate Patagonia with the Kids’ Race too.

KEEN

KEEN hit the outdoor market in 2003 and the trail running market in 2025. We’re excited to team up with this mission-driven footwear brand and share their shoes with our Chuckanut crowd — we think you’ll love them for all the variety our course holds. A huge driver within the brand is Consciously Created: pushing the edges of design and materials to make enduring quality while minimizing impact.

KEEN will have race weekend presence, demo shoes to try, product giveaways for our age group winners and a few surprises for our steadfast volunteers. Get to know the brand.

City of Bellingham

We applied for and were awarded a City of Bellingham Tourism grant! We’re thrilled to once again partner with the beautiful city that hosts the Chuckanut 50k. The grant is awarded to organizations and events that contribute to tourism in the city, and we use it to hire Active Track livestreaming and EnduranceHQ, and to enhance our finisher swag.

Please share that you’re visiting for the Chuckanut 50k, support the businesses on this page, stay with our event lodging partners, and check out all Bellingham has to offer.

Fairhaven Runners & Walkers

Since RD Krissy’s first day, Fairhaven Runners has fully supported the Chuckanut 50k — always available, helpful and present. This local specialty running store creates community around running, from trails to roads and adventures to PRs. They help with bib pickup, on-site presence, and prizes for our age group and raffle awards.

Wander Brewing & ROAM

Wander hosts participants all race weekend with locally brewed beer, cider and non-alcoholic drinks — and once again brews a special beer for the race: Chinscraper IPA, on tap and in cans. Join us Saturday night for drinks and food trucks at the post-race party.

ROAM by Wander starts the morning serving coffee to volunteers and as many runners as possible in Fairhaven Park — stop by the shop for the full experience. Find Wander and ROAM at packet pickup, the start and the finish. Owner Chad Kuehl is a Chuckanut 50k finisher and huge running community advocate in Bellingham.

Skratch Labs

Skratch Labs makes sports nutrition designed to help you perform better without offending your gut or your taste buds, using real food and starting from scratch. Get ahead by training with the products that will be on course — Skratch offers our runners a discount code to train with their products all winter (in 2026: CHUCKANUT2026 for 20% off).

K’UL Chocolate

The K’UL crew are close friends of the race — we prep all race equipment and prizes in their warehouse. Runners and volunteers enjoy K’UL samples Friday night and at the finish line, plus age group prizes. This Bellingham brand is doing amazing work with chocolate on a global scale, one delicious bar at a time.

Kelsey Klevenberg, Edward Jones

“Congrats to everyone training for the Chuckanut 50k. As someone who has struggled with weight and body image issues for as long as I can remember, running has been indispensable for my mental and physical health. Completing long runs like the White River 50 miler and the Bridger Ridge Run have shown me just how capable we can be. Whatever your reason for running, good luck and we’ll see you at the finish line!”

UltrAspire

An innovative hydration accessories and lighting brand. UltrAspire designs gear from the ground up with athletes — inspired by athletes, designed for performance, and revised to perfection. We’re thankful to have UltrAspire on our sponsor lineup again.

PACT Outdoors

Sustainable bathroom solutions for outdoor adventures. Their all-in-one kits use fungal mycelium to break down poop faster and kill harmful pathogens, and their award-winning PACT Wipes reinvent toilet tissue for the outdoors. A family-run business based in Crested Butte, Colorado.

RD Krissy found PACT at the High Lonesome 100. “This is a much-needed solution to the GI problems of trail runners and the joke that there is a bathroom behind every tree. We need to follow Leave No Trace practices on all runs, racing or training. I am stoked for this awesome product and educational partnership!”

Patagonia Provisions + Deschutes Brewery

Your post-race celebration beverage is back! Head to the Wander tent at the finish line for one of three non-alcoholic options from the Patagonia Provisions + Deschutes Brewery collaboration. The collection is also for sale at the Wander brewhouse.

Backcountry Essentials

Host of our Friday night packet pickup! This Bellingham outdoor specialty shop helps you gear up for skiing, hiking, climbing, camping, traveling or simply enjoying life in the Northwest — with advice that comes from real experience and a lot of passion.

Trail Butter

On a real food mission: “BE TRAIL READY.” Delicious, all-natural energy food with balanced, slow-burning energy in a portable package, made with unprocessed, whole-food ingredients. A strong supporter since 2015, Trail Butter refuels our runners at packet pickup and the finish line (in 2026, code chuckanutbutter26 took 20% off at trailbutter.com).

Bellingham Flower Farm

Run by local runner, speedster and Chuckanut 50k finish line medical provider Amber, who has a lifelong passion for farm-fresh cut flowers. The fields also yield wedding florals, dahlias and DIY buckets, and host amazing on-farm events. Local. Sustainable. Fresh. Some of our winners take home beautiful bouquets.

Community Food Co-op

Our local co-op is the source for most of the food at our aid stations, and their partial donation and discount help us stay local with our purchases. With two Bellingham locations, the Co-op prioritizes products from small farms and artisan makers in Whatcom County.
