All Comers is a Bellingham tradition where generations of participants, from first-time competitors to seasoned athletes, come together to race, jump, and throw! Whether you’re sprinting the 100 meters, launching a shot put, or soaring in the high jump, there’s something for everyone.
Open to all ages and skill levels, this welcoming series is all about fun, friendly competition, and community spirit. Lace up your sneakers, bring your friends, and join us on the track! For the full event schedule, course records, and more, visit cob.org/races or email parks@cob.org.
