Ski To Sea 2025………My Actifit Report Card: May 25 2025

What is ski to Sea-you ask? Well, it’s a race unlike any other race I’ve seen before! It consists of teams-usually 6-8 members on each. The race begins early on the Sunday just before Memorial Day, which is today.

The race starts up at Mt. Baker ski area with the first leg-cross country skiing. The second leg then begins and is downhill skiing/snowboarding. The third leg consists of running; the fourth road biking. That’s where our journey began. This race runs very close to where we live, so when we got home from church, we hiked the mile and a half to South Pass Road.

On the way….. a little further down north Pass Road……

Almost there…….

A view up the valley…..

We had arrived at the intersection of North and South Pass Roads! We might have been some of the first cheerleaders for the racers! Enjoy some bike racers as they flashed by us.

In Everson at Riverside Park, they then have the canoe leg of the journey. They canoe down the Nooksack River to Ferndale and then begin the cyclocross leg of the race. This goes down to the bay where they switch to the final leg-sea kayaking to Fairhaven and the finish line! This race began at 7:30 and some racers will finish as late as 6 PM or so. Then, Fairhaven throws a huge street party afterwards.

We headed down to Boulevard Park to catch the sea kayaking leg of the race. This year, they were much further out in the bay, so it was hard to notice them at first! My camera was able to capture some of the kayakers.

These racers all train for their particular leg of the race diligently. I can’t even imagine the time and effort put out by all the participants! They are all winners in my book! Congratulations to Birch Equipment for placing first in every leg of the race! 😎👍

If you’d like to see a recap of last year’s event, you can view it at the link below.

It’s been a lovely Sunday with a lot of walking and hiking. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post where I’ll have more pictures of the bay and the area around Boulevard Park! Thanks for reading this far!

That’s it for today. Take care always and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! 🙏🌎🙏

NKJV Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
