Coronavirus costs Whatcom County its signature event in 2020
The novel coronavirus pandemic has cost Whatcom County its signature event in 2020.
Ski to Sea announced Monday, March 23, that it has canceled the 2020 race on Memorial Day Weekend due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19.
“Ski to Sea has been an uninterrupted annual celebration of our community’s diverse outdoor recreational opportunities since 1973,” a Ski to Sea release stated. “Suffice it to say that making the decision to interrupt this tradition of 46 years was difficult and painful.
“However, cancellation is the only responsible choice given the logistics in preparing for the race, the uncertainty of our ability to safely stage the event on May 24th, and our sensitivity to the financial and potential health impacts to racers.”
