These times reflect the both the estimated times to do each leg and the estimated times where a team will be during the day. We know the numberse don’t “add up” but that takes into consideration that the teams aren’t made up of all the slowest people.
The fast and slow times will give individuals a sense of what to expect. While the finish hour gives the group and supporters an idea of them where the team will be in the mix of it all.
* Paddle: The cut off time for boaters to be in the water is 5:30 pm.
If your teammate from the Trail Run is not there by 5:30- the paddler starts the leg.
Soloists: You must be in the water by 5:30. If you miss the cutoff, we’ll help you get back to Bellingham.

Cornwall Beach and Port of Bellingham
One fun aspect of the course for the Bellingham Traverse is the variation of the locations we get to visit in one day. I think of this little pocket beach as a reminder of the past and a glimpse to the future. This little beach will be a very different place in 10 years. We are happy to be a part of its history. Thank you to David Scherrer for the recommendation to switch the paddle to finish here (much better). Nice views of Lummi Island and Mt. Constitution off in the distance. Thank you Port of Bellingham for your support.
take out, eh!
The locals refer to this as Glass Beach but usually with a slur in their speech.
