In lieu of sitting in gridlock, wasting precious natural resources, and inhaling carcinogenic fumes, nearly 400 participants were burning calories while building awareness for Puget Sound Blood Center’s Bone Marrow Registry. Divided into teams of five consisting of four swimmers and one kyacker they battled choppy waves and morning hunger on the 2.5 mile course from Medina to Madison beach.
Upon reaching the westerly shores the athletes were greeted by family, friends, and delicious Bear Naked Treats.
