President: Len Parine

Phone: 360 647-5703
With almost 40 years of competitive running under his belt, Len is making the transition from high participant/low supporter to low participant/high supporter very comfortably. This is Len's 6th year with GBRC and 4th year on its board. Having been previously involved with many good running clubs, it's a pleasure to say that this group is as invigorating and unselfish as any. Between the wonderful members and beautiful surroundings, it doesn't get much better.

Bill started running in the early 90's when he was living in Honolulu, Hawaii. He completed two marathons before moving back to the "mainland" in 1998 and has completed several half-marathons since then. Bill particularly likes the Bellingham area because of the numerous, picturesque trails. Bill is also known as "The Computer Gecko" because of his love of computers.

Race Director Liaison: Tjalling Ypma

Phone:(360) 734-2616 (H) 650-3785 (W)
E-Mail:tjalling.ypma@wwu.edu

Tjalling is notable primarily for his masochistic streak, which prompts him to serve on various boards and race in triathlons. The unpleasant business of swimming, biking and running, which necessitate the even more unpleasant business of training, lead this professional mathematician to spend most of his leisure hours trying to quantify suffering.

Website Manager: Rick Hill

E-Mail:info@gbrc.net
Rick has been a Bellingham resident for many years, and a committed runner since completing his first race; a 2 mile Jingle Bell run in 1996. He likes racing most distances but particulary likes trail runs. (How else can you see so much beautiful terrain in such a short time?)
As an avid computer junkie, he's found a great way to support GBRC by working on the web site.
