 Posted: 04/21/08 - 13:43 Post subject: Endurance Challenge Bellingham - 3 Weeks!
The North Face Endurance Challenge in Bellingham is 3 weeks away. Have you registered yet? The kick-off in Bear Mountain, NY, sold out, so if you are thinking of running, register this week!
The North Face Endurance Challenge offers options for runners of all levels. Each event offers four distances: 10K , Half Marathon , 50K , and 50-Mile.
The Bellingham course meanders its way amongst rock-climbing areas and bat caves, punctuated by breathtaking views of Mount Baker and the North Cascades to the east. The views of the San Juan Islands to the west, plus the vast Skagit Valley to the south add to the beauty of the course. Elevations bounce between 200 and 2,500 feet, but do not include any huge, sustained climbs. Traverses of broken ridgeline require nimble feet while highly technical sections demand mountain goat skills, with two roped sections to aid in a climb. Overall, the Bellingham courses should be an impressive trail-running test that delivers a balance of fire roads, single track, and double track.
