Run from beach to beach on a series of gravel trails just south of Bellingham. From Marine Park in Fairhaven, take the Lower Padden Creek and Larrabee Trail through a mainly residential area for 1 mile to Fairhaven Park. From there, the Interurban Trail continues through a more wooded area, passing Hoag’s Pond and Arroyo Park, ending at Chuckanut Mountain, overlooking Teddy Bear Cove. It’s 4 miles one-way, and hilly, gradually climbing 430 feet.

Wonderful waterfront running. The signature route is the South Bay Trail, following the water for 2 miles around Bellingham Bay toward Fairhaven. Great water and mountain views. Combine with waterfront path to Zuanich Point for a 10.5 mile run!
Just 1/2 mile from downtown, there's a lovely ~3 mile, hilly run combining the attractive pedestrian paths, fields, & running track of Western Washington University with the forested paths of the Sehome Arboretum.
A pleasant 10 run showcasing several small parks in central Bellingham: Squalicum Creek Park, Cornwall Park, Broadway Park, and the nice residential streets of the Columbia neighborhood.
A wide, gravel path runs for 3.6 miles between Memorial Park to Lake Whatcom. Mainly wooded, with some great views of the lake from a pedestrian bridge off Alabama St. Can add with a few miles of trails in Whatcom Falls Park.
A popular spot just 5 miles south of downtown Bellingham. A wide, gravel path circles Lake Padden for 2.6 miles. Do some laps! Adjacent to the lake are the Galbraith Mountain and Padden Trails, which offer hilly, more rugged trail running.
A scenic, moderate trail run through 350 acres of old growth forest. The preserve is 5 miles east of downtown. The route is up to 4.9 miles, including the 3-mile Main Loop and 1.8 mile loop around Lake Geneva.
