BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Spring is here. Technically. The weather is warming up a bit in Whatcom County and glorious sunny weather is just around the corner. Hopefully.
That means it is time to get into shape. How does a run through beautiful Everson sound?
Honeywagon Runs kicks off on Saturday, March 22 with bib pick up at 7:30 a.m. at Nooksack Valley Middle School. You can run a four-mile course or a half marathon all while taking in the gorgeous views of western Whatcom County, the foothills and the Nooksack River.
Honeywagon Runs started in 1982 and has been running every year since then except for 2020 when the COVID 19 pandemic forced a cancellation. The course takes you along country roads what will not be closed to traffic, so dress accordingly and use caution.
For all the details and to register, go to the Greater Bellingham Running Club’s website.
