They came in huge numbers, and more than a few had an outright Coupeville connection.

The 13th annual Whidbey Island Marathon was run Sunday under bright, open skies with no rain or wind. And while no one from Central Whidbey qualified for the Boston Marathon out of the race, Coupeville did have a presence.

And, since this is Coupeville Sports, we’re listing those who listed the Cow Town as their home town.

If you put down Oak Harbor, or God forbid, one of those South Whidbey towns, you’re out of luck.

Go look for your name over at http://www.whidbeyislandmarathon.com/

And, if I missed a name, I was transcribing these at 1:30 in the morning, so don’t cry too much…

We’re still two days away from St. Patrick’s Day, but there was green everywhere Saturday in Coupeville.

The Central Whidbey Co-Op Preschool held its third annual Shamrock 5K Walk/Run, and, as usual, an emphasis was put on running in costume and a bit of the puttin’ on the green.

The photos above are just a wee touch of what was to be seen.

Emily Norris came, saw and kicked butt.

Running in California, the former Coupeville High School cheerleader and heir to the Kapaws Iskreme empire (it’s built on delicious mounds of ice cream), punctuated her recent trip to Disneyland with a stellar performance in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon.

It was her first time competing in a 13.1 mile event, and she finished far closer to the front of the pack than the back of the pack.

Now, the only burning question left is this — do I get some creamy delicious, ice cream-flavored kick-back for promoting her?

All I can say is, all my fingers are crossed!!

The Oak Harbor-based shutter bug braved the screaming, teeming hordes of folks who invaded Central Whidbey last weekend to capture images from the 2nd annual Race the Reserve.
