Hackney's Houses

Memorial Day weekend brings the annual, hold your breath, dust off the gear version of the Bellingham Olympics, Ski-to-Sea.

An 8 stage team event starting atop Mt. Baker and finishing in Fairhaven this year's event will be basking in sunshine and a fun festival atmosphere.

Starting with a cross country ski leg, it then meanders it's way through Whatcom County. 

2nd leg:  Downhill Ski

3rd leg:  Run (down the mountain...ouch!)

4th leg:  38 mile Road Bike (yours truly will be going all out to stay with the top guns)

5th leg: Canoe down the Nooksack River

6th leg: Mountain Bike

7th leg: Sea Kayak

Then you race to shore and ring the bell!!!

Over 400 teams will view for trophies and bragging rights.  Check out www.skitosea.com for more information.

Watch out for the RE/MAX Racing team...maybe a podium finish?!  Wait and see.  If you're not racing and you're in the area, the festivities will be happening all day down in Fairhaven. 

It's a must see on the holiday weekend!
