The Mount Baker Marathon was an amazing event that lasted only three years because of the dangerous conditions with which the runners had to contend. It was just a matter of time before someone died.

 

 

This is the story of a group of hardy individuals that braved snow storms, foul weather and death, to summit Mount Baker and return to Bellingham for a winning purse of only $100.00. The story involves; modified automobiles that went 60 mph, a speeding train derailed by a bull, a 28-mile run from the base to the 10,778 ft. summit through waist-deep snow, and a 40 ft. fall into a glacial crevasse as well as a degree of human fortitude and will-power that is truly remarkable. After years of research, the story can now be told accurately; and what a fantastic story it is!
