Run 13.1 miles on Bellingham’s beautiful Interurban Trail which spans from Fairhaven Park to Clayton Beach. Run the whole distance yourself or split the trip with a friend. After the race, enjoy Mongolian traditional food and music.

This race raises funds for children in Mongolia to attend school. $50.00 covers annual expenses for textbooks, school supplies, and school uniforms for a child. Bellingham’s newest sister city, Tsetserleg, Mongolia, will become official this summer. Funds from this race will be presented by delegates from Bellingham when citizens from both cities sign their Sister Cities agreement this August in Tsetserleg.

It will also help to support a Mongolian family and send a kid to school. What a bargain for $20! Baby Gap sells something similar for the same price, but it’s made out of synthetics and doesn’t do any of the good stuff mentioned above. You can buy ‘em by clicking here.

We met with her over the summer and were so impressed with her attitude and training. She has enrolled students of all ages who have not attended school. She will be working to help them reach 6th-grade equivalency so they have options for the future. This was written in December (took a little while to translate). I am so happy we found such a wonderful teacher for our program!
