Many run, a few matter

Posted in Running, tagged , , , , , on April 23, 2023| Leave a Comment »

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.

Luke Summers (50th) 1:42:36
Colin Albi (59th) 1:43:43

They’ve launched a competition between Wolf fall sports teams, with the team with the most volunteers nabbing the Golden Shoe Award and a batch of cookies from acclaimed cook Helene Lhamon.

It’s a royal rumble between volleyball, soccer, tennis, cross country, and football, with a tasty finale.

 

Volunteers are currently needed for:

Food Team (1)
Parking (3)
Photographer (1)
Race clean-up (9)
Race set-up (2)
Registration (5)

If you listed Oak Harbor, or Mukilteo, or some random city in West Virginia as your hometown, good on you for lacing up your running shoes.

But here, on a blog called Coupeville Sports, the only people to get their names published are those who actually listed Cow Town as their residence.
