They came, they saw, they put in some mileage.

The 2026 edition of Race the Reserve lured 350 runners out to the prairie Saturday for a fundraiser devoted to funneling money to Coupeville’s next graduating class.

From out of that pack, 152 competitors participated in the 5K, with 106 hitting the tape in the 10K and 92 more taking on the half marathon.

The top three runners hailed from different towns, with Dylan Kent of Langley claiming top honors in the day’s longest race.

He was joined by Joshua Knight from Longmont, Colorado (10K) and Trenton Mueller of Woodinville (5K) in the winner’s circle, with Coupeville High School runners Cyrus Sparacio and Henry Purdue finishing second in those races.

Overall, Wolf runners nabbed five of the top 10 spots in the two shorter races, with Ossian Merkel, Archer Schwarz, and Colton Ashby also defending their home turf.

Another edition of Race the Reserve is in the books.

The annual fundraiser, which brings in money for Coupeville’s next graduating class, features a 5K, 10K, and half marathon, with runners and walkers cruising across the prairie.

The 2026 edition, which benefits the CHS Class of 2027, went down under sunny, but not blazing hot, weather Saturday.

The photos above and below, which come to us courtesy a variety of Wolf Moms, show the moods were as bright as the day.

Race the Reserve, the biggest fundraiser for Coupeville High School’s senior class, hits the prairie Saturday, August 8 this year.
