The Ski-to-Sea race takes place on May 24, 2026, starting at Mt. Baker Ski Area and finishing roughly 90 miles later at Bellingham Bay on the Pacific Ocean in Bellingham, Washington.
The Mostly Michigan Roots team will complete the race in seven legs:
Drew Wettlaufer — Cross-country ski, 4 miles

All team costs, including registration, travel, lodging, meals, and training, are covered by the participants. That means 100% of donations go directly to MCHS Family of Services to support its programs and operations.
