“Fly! Fly like the wind!!”

And he was gone with the wind.

They came. They saw. They ran all day and night (and then some).

Tons of runners took part in the annual Northwest Passage this weekend, a 200-mile jaunt from the Canadian border at Blaine down to Whidbey Island.

Part of the Ragnar Relay Series, the event drew numerous runners from Coupeville, some of whom are featured in the photos above.

Paced by Coupeville High School sophomores Jacob Smith and Henry Wynn and cheered on by mascot Cheridan Eck, the Wolf Pack overcame the heat and stayed strong until the end.

Pertinent info and such.

One month to go? Are you ready?

Cause if not, you have a lot of training to do in a very short time, skippy.

As we hit July 1st on the calendar, that puts us a slim month out from the annual Race the Reserve, a day packed with running, running and, yes, more running.

The event, which benefits the Coupeville High School Class of 2016, features a half marathon as well as a 10K and 5K, all run in one of the more breath-taking areas where these kind of shindigs are held.

Let’s go for a run!!

The air was warm, but the running was crisp.

Taking advantage of a gorgeous April day Sunday, tons of people who like going out for a competitive jog crammed into Oak Harbor for the Whidbey Island Marathon.

While no one from Coupeville competed in that event, a bunch of Cow Town natives did take part in the half marathon, 10K and 5K that were also held.

Their results are below, with two caveats:

1) If I missed anyone when combing through the results, I blame my eyes going blurry at the endless stream of names.

2) If you listed Duluth, Minnesota as your hometown, you’re out of luck. Same thing with British Columbia, Tallahassee or, God forbid, Oak Harbor itself.

This is called Coupeville Sports for a reason.

There was a lot of green, and a little huffing ‘n puffing, on the prairie Saturday.

The 4th annual Shamrock 5K, put on by the Central Whidbey Cooperative Preschool, sent runners out in droves, many of them wearing St. Patrick’s Day colors.

The photos above are a taste of what was happening, with the focus falling on the younger runners who opened things with a highly charged dash of their own.
