Larrabee Lakes

Larrabee Lakes takes place August 8, 2026, with start and finish at Fairhaven Park near Bellingham, Washington. Courses run into Larrabee State Park and across sections of the Chuckanut Formation, passing through lush green forest, alongside several lakes, and along narrow ridgelines with views of Mt. Baker and Bellingham Bay.

Distances:

• 12K
• 25K
• 50K

All distances begin on the Interurban Trail and then enter singletrack that climbs to the first ridgeline. The 12K turns back after the initial ridgeline. The 25K and 50K continue on Lost Lake Trail and ridge trails; the 25K includes a climb up stairs to the ridge before returning through Aroyo Park. The 50K includes an extended route with an out and back to the Pine and Cedar Aid Station, laps near Cedar Lake, sections past Fragrance Lake, and additional climbs before rejoining the ridge.

The terrain includes smooth singletrack but also rough, steep, and rocky sections. Elevation gain is listed as approximately 1500 feet for the 12K, 2900 feet for the 25K, and 6500 feet for the 50K. Aid stations are positioned along each course and the trails will remain open to other users, including equestrians, pedestrians, and cyclists.

This cupless event asks runners to carry their own refillable container. Drop bags are allowed for 50K runners at the Lost Lake aid station with size and labeling requirements. Every finisher receives a handmade piece of finisher swag produced with solar power. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
