The Bellingham Bay Marathon acknowledges that we gather on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples, who have lived in the Salish Sea basin, throughout the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades watershed, from time immemorial. Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude for our Indigenous neighbors, the Lhaq’temish (Lummi) Nation and the Nuxwsa’7aq (Nooksack) tribes, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways. In recognizing these tribal communities, we honor their legacy, their lives, their descendants, and their living culture.
Run the Bay!
