Jon Crimmins, Coupeville’s top male finisher in the half marathon.

Sarah Chombeau leads all local runners in the 10K.

Hot on her heels, Daniel Verble notched the top male performance in the 10K by a Coupeville male runner.

Olivia Flack can not be caught in the 5K.

Samuel Wynn (338) and James Wood are neck-and-neck coming down the stretch in the 5K.

Gabe and Jyotica Barrio, out for a father/daughter run.

Sherry Roberts (left) and Tammy Smith head home.

Debra Savalza nears the finish line with a flourish.

Gone with the wind.

Not that there was too much wind on a sunny, sizzlin’ August day, but local runners competing in the annual Race the Reserve Saturday were flying along.

The photos above, which come to us courtesy John Fisken, capture a slice of Coupeville’s best and brightest as they waged war against the clock and their own inner will.

“We have to be super serious, cause we’re in charge of the medals and … dear sweet lord, photo op, photo op, PHOTO OP!!!!”

Mitch Aparicio fires up the runners by firing up the jams.

The fastest runner not actually running Saturday, CHS track supernova Makana Stone, hangs out with the parental units, Josh and Eileen.

Erik Christensen lays down a stone-cold riff on a sizzlin’ hot day.

“Puny humans, running around down there while I soar up here. Bow to my majesty!!”

“Yeah, I’m faster than that eagle. I just don’t want to embarrass the poor guy…”

Aimee Bishop smiles cause she knows it’s true.

Can’t have a race without the support crew.

Saturday’s Race the Reserve was no different, as event organizers, volunteers, family, friends, fans, musicians and even the occasional eagle joined in to make things run smoothly.

Capturing all the behind the scenes action was travelin’ photo man John Fisken and the pics above are courtesy him.

At some point, I’m going to have to go buy the man a Diet Coke or 300…

He’s smarter than the average bear, and, apparently, quicker, too.

At least when it comes to traversing Ebey’s Prairie.

Jon Crimmins, park ranger extraordinaire, revived memories of his high school athletic exploits Saturday, zipping to the best time by any Coupeville runner in the half marathon, the premier event at the annual Race the Reserve.

His time of one hour, 42 minutes, 15 seconds placed him 8th overall, out of 128 runners.

Close to 400 runners hit the starting line this year, with participants divided between the half marathon, the 10K and 5K.

The races benefit the next graduating class at Coupeville High School.

And no, I’m not about to list all 400 or so runners on here.

The rules are simple.

If you listed Coupeville as your home town, and my eyes didn’t glaze over and miss you while going through race results, you’re on here.

From Oak Harbor or, heaven forbid, another state entirely?

Well, should have brought your own reporter with you then, I guess.

It’s called Coupeville Sports for a reason.

Honey, where’s my super shoes?!?!

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.

For more info, take a gander at the poster conveniently located above these words, or pop over to:

Coupeville’s own, Olivia Flack, was the top female finisher in the 5K. (John Fisken photos)

10K winners Molly Gwinn and Brian Comer.

5K male winner Joshua Sharp.

The running is done, but the photos continue.

Saturday’s Race the Reserve drew nearly 300 runners to the prairie, and travelin’ camera clicker John Fisken caught a few of the quickest ones at the finish line for a photo op.
