Overview
The Larrabee Lakes race is a Pacific Northwest gem that brings together forest, mountain, and ocean views in one epic day on the trails. Runners will wind through lush green forests, circle sparkling lakes, and crest ridgelines shaped by the unique Chuckanut geology. Along the way, peek-a-boo glimpses of Mt. Baker and Bellingham Bay keep the scenery as dynamic as the terrain.
This course is tough, rewarding, and unforgettable. Whether you’re out for the 12K, 25K, or 50K, expect sweeping trails, challenging climbs, and the kind of atmosphere that makes Evergreen Trail Runs events feel like a celebration of nature and community.
