Aimee Bishop (and 200 other people) went for a run!!

Sisters Aimee Bishop (green) and Christi Messner (orange elbow) run the Kettle Trails Sunday. (Paulette Kosinski photo)

The weather was nice, and the running wasn’t half-bad.

Taking advantage of a fairly pleasant Sunday, a field of 200+ runners spent a chunk of their day touring the tree-lined trails of Whidbey Island, competing in an event sponsored by Northwest Trail Runs. Runners competed in their choice of a marathon, 20-miler, half-marathon or 10K.

Megan Hall crushed the field in the marathon, setting a course record and finishing more than half an hour ahead of the pack. The youngest runner: 12-year old Jacob Smith, who competed in the 10K.

Among local runners was Aimee Bishop, seen in the photo above, who commented, “We have the best trails right in our own backyard!”

Complete results (and remember, this comes from the NW Trail Runs site, so if your name is misspelled, go talk to them, not me):
