BELLINGHAM, Wash. – If you have any friends east of the Mississippi, it is time to give them a call.
Whatcom Events wants racers, volunteers and residents to help them recruit teams from all 50 states to compete in next year’s Ski to Sea race.
Why?
It’s the 50th anniversary of the legendary relay race from Mount Baker to Bellingham Bay.
Over the years, racers from 41 states have participated, but folks from states like Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi have yet to make the trip.
Whatcom Events says Ski to Sea teams with 100 percent of their racers from out-of-state will get top priority for free entry.
And if more than 50 percent of your team is from an unrepresented state, that team will also get free entry.
Registration for next year’s Ski to Sea race opens on January 1st.
