They endured.
Despite a nice burst of summer rain Saturday, the annual Race the Reserve drew a fair amount of runners to Whidbey Island.
The event, which is the biggest fundraiser for the Coupeville High School Class of 2020, featured five events – a marathon, half marathon, 5K, 10K, and a marathon relay.
Runners pounded across the pavement and prairie, traveling through Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve, with cloudy views of nearby mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca along the way.
Mixed in among the participants were Coupeville athletes, and they, by virtue of their hometown, get their name on the internet today.
From Sherman Oaks or Coronado? Good on you, but this blog is called Coupeville Sports, so it is what it is.
