They turned out in force.

Official stats show 277 runners competing Saturday in the annual Race the Reserve, the biggest fundraiser for Coupeville High School’s next graduating class.

The 5K was the most-popular event, attracting 107 competitors.

Meanwhile, the 10K snagged 99 runners, and the half marathon featured 71 people ambling across the prairie.

Two of the day’s three winners have a direction connection to Coupeville Middle and High School cross country.

Andrew Wyman, husband of CMS harrier coach Amber Wyman, claimed the crown in the half marathon.

George Spear, who will be a Wolf sophomore this fall, outran the field to win the 10K, while the 5K title was copped by Levi DeBoard, who seems to have no connection to the Wolf running programs.

The prairie was alive with the sound of footsteps.

The annual Race the Reserve extravaganza returned to Coupeville Saturday, with runners conquering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon routes while raising money for the Class of 2024.

The year’s biggest fundraiser for the next batch of Wolf seniors, the event played out under sunny skies this time around, as you can see in the pics above and below.

They need your help.

As they ramp up for Race the Reserve, the biggest fundraiser for the graduates at Coupeville High School, parents of the Class of 2024 are seeking volunteers for the event.

The call is out for both high school students and adults, and there are a variety of positions waiting to be filled.

Race the Reserve, which features a 5K, 10K, and half marathon, is set for Saturday, Aug. 12.

Money raised goes to fund safe and sober graduation events.

To volunteer, pop over to:

It’s 200 miles, two countries (or close to it), and a million memories.

Three young Coupeville athletes joined up with a pack of Wolf Moms (and dads) to complete this weekend’s Ragnar Road Northwest Passage running event.

High school aces Cael Wilson and Hank Milnes were joined by middle schooler Allie Powers, fresh off a run to the state tourney with her Central Whidbey Little League softball squad.

The trio all put in more than their fair share of the miles, with Milnes topping the team at 24.2 miles as the event played out Friday and Saturday.

Wilson, who was a last-second addition to the team, piled up 19.2 miles on the backroads of America, while Powers finished with 18.3 miles.

The CMS cross country supernova barely made the cut for Ragnar, competing as a 12-year-old, which is the minimum age for runners.

“I just was so impressed with these kids this weekend!” said team captain Kelly Powers.

“They all just showed real persistence and dedication making things happen.

“Each had their own struggles or setbacks but never gave up.”

The young trio were joined by vets Helene Lhamon, Claire Milnes, Stephen Smith, Lark Gustafson, Kelly Powers, Stig Carlson, Scott Milnes, James Kunz, and Rebecca Albright.

Ragnar is a true team event, with runners alternating legs over the course of the race, which starts in Blaine and ends at the southern tip of Whidbey Island in Clinton.

“No land speed records were broken, but friends were made, tacos devoured and unforgettable moments of perseverance abounded,” Kelly Powers said.

As the hours (and miles) tick away, individual runners merge into a unique group.

“It’s odd, putting six random people in a van turns them into a team,” Kelly Powers said.

“A camaraderie formed, and they figured out how to support each other through challenges of heat, cold, dehydration, cramps, low blood sugar and ultimately the management of all the snacks!

“No one was left out or behind … especially as we moved from checkpoint to checkpoint.”

The team started in the heat of the day Friday, took a brief pit stop in La Conner, ran through the night and into sunset.

Picking back up Saturday after a brief siesta, it was on to Whidbey, wrapping things up in late afternoon.

Now, it’s time to ice any balky legs and look towards a reunion.

“We all can’t wait for next year!” Kelly Powers said.

Luke and Maria Summers both ran in the half-marathon Sunday.

Thousands of runners, but we only care about 27 of them.

Sunday’s Whidbey Island Marathon brought a sea of humanity to Deception Pass and outlying areas, but the only way those runners get into this story is if they listed Coupeville as their hometown.

You call Alabama, Oregon, or (shudder) Oak Harbor your place of residence?

Good on you.

Now go start your own blog. It ain’t that hard.

With that said, we present the few, the proud, the Central Whidbey residents who ran in the half-marathon, 10K, or 5K.

As far as I can tell, no one from Coupeville took on the full 26.2-mile main event this time around.
