The Ski to Sea Race
Matt Mueller hands off to Robbie Parsons
- The race begins on Mt. Baker with a mass-start four-mile cross-country ski loop.
- Next is the downhill snow leg, which starts with a 1000 ft climb, then races down to the hand-off point.
- The runner takes the team tag and descends (knees aching) eight miles of switchbacks.
- The road biker races 38 miles downhill to the Nooksack River.
- The canoe team paddles non-stop 2 ½ hours down the Nooksack.
- The mountain biker takes the hand-off and braves a difficult and muddy 13 mile trail to the final hand-off.
- The kayaker takes the tag and paddles five miles through the saltwater and winds of Bellingham Bay, finally ending the race to the cheers of his waiting team-mates and hundreds of spectators.
