The finish line, how sweet it is.

“That way! Run that way!!”

The future of Wolf running, and their proud parents.

Successful programs are built one block at a time.

Coupeville High School and Middle School are restarting cross country programs this fall after a two-decade absence, and the excitement level is obviously building behind the scenes.

Saturday, a group of five CMS athletes planning to turn out for the new sport got together, with a little help from their parents, and teamed up to run the marathon relay at Race the Reserve.

The Wolf relay team consisted of Andrew Williams, Hayden Harry, Tate Wyman, Cole White and Aiden Anderson.

With the first day of practice looming Aug. 20, coaches can’t have contact with athletes right now.

No big deal, as the young runners took matters into their own hands, showing the kind of initiative and off-season commitment which speaks well for the future of the fledgling program.

Shout-out to the yard crew!

Saturday brings Race the Reserve to town, the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Coupeville High School Class of 2019.

With preparation for the race — which features a marathon, half marathon, 10K and more — at peak levels, the parking lot at the CHS gym was not forgotten.

Wielding weed eaters and loppers, community members descended on the overgrown lot Friday and restored it to livable conditions.

So, this way, while runners may stagger through the lot after running across the prairie, at least none of them will vanish into a mass of overgrown vines as they catch their breath.

Nicely done, one and all.

All the pertinent details.

Won’t someone run for the kids?

We’re approaching that time of year again, when the incoming senior class at Coupeville High School hosts the annual Race the Reserve.

The event, which goes down Aug. 11 this year, is the biggest fundraiser for the senior trip, which will benefit the CHS Class of 2019.

Registration is open now, and you can pick between marathon, half marathon, 5K, 10K or marathon relay.

As always, the race winds through some of the most eye-popping scenery to be found on the running circuit.

The hometown runners held their own.

Coupeville representatives captured two of the main four events at Saturday’s Race the Reserve, with James Steller winning the marathon and Riley Borden claiming the 10K title.

Steller surged across the line in 3:19:00.39, while Borden rambled in at the 49:54.45 mark.

Andrew Harnish of Seattle won the half marathon (1:31:16.28), while Carter Eldridge of Enumclaw (17:54.22) zipped through the 5K the fastest of anyone.

The annual event, which raises money for the incoming senior class at Coupeville High School, was a booming success, drawing in 348 runners who enjoyed the opportunity to race across the prairie.

Here’s where we get territorial and list the finishers who claimed Cow Town on their registration form.

If you hail from Mill Creek or Tucson, AZ or Clarks Summit, PA, thanks for coming, but this is called Coupeville Sports, not the Roseburg Runners Gazette.

And PS, these results are as close as I can get based on what Tortoise and Hare Timing Company has posted online Sunday morning.

There seems to be some runners missing, starting with the fact three of Coupeville’s finest, seen above boasting numbers and medals, aren’t anywhere to be found in the results.

Ready to Race the Reserve?!!

Run like the wind, two times.

First, if you aren’t registered yet for Race the Reserve, the clock is running out on you.

The annual shindig — which features a marathon, half marathon, marathon relay, 10K and 5K — is just a week away, with the starter’s pistol set to fire next Saturday, Aug. 12.

If you register online or in person the day of the event, you can use a credit card, cash or check. Registration by mail has closed.

Once you hit that starter’s line, ready to rumble, weather conditions are looking strong. Forecasts call for a high of 72 degrees that day, with a mild wind and some clouds.

As you run through Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve, you’ll be treated to views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, the Olympics and the Straight of Juan de Fuca.

Money raised goes to fund graduation night events for the Coupeville High School Class of 2018.

Deb Smith is the driving force behind this year’s event, with Beth Stout, Lisa Toomey, Jennifer Wynn, Dawn Hesselgrave, Connie Lippo, Kali Barrio, Elizabeth Bitting and Deb Savalza all playing key roles.
