Trails to Taps Relay 2018

Teams of 5-10 runners comprise this relay run which highlights two of Bellingham’s best assets – breweries and trail running.  Each leg of the 30-mile course ends at a different brewery where runners receive four 4oz beer tickets.  Teammates meet each other at the Finish Line Party to celebrate with all of the participating breweries.  Raffles and a costume contest round out the after party fun.
