After last year's inaugural Northwest Trail Runs event at Fort Ebey State Park, we returned this year with improved (and slightly lengthened) course routes. The weather was once again very nice for running, with just a few drops of rain late in the run, and otherwise mild temperatures, a few rays of sun, and only a light breeze. The trails were in pretty good shape, especially considering the very high winds of the night before, which did bring down a few trees.
This run was the first in the 2013 Half Marathon Trail Series, which will continue with our next run, on March 3 at Redmond Watershed Preserve. Here is the link to register online for the March 3 run.
Several runners told us this was their first trail run ever. Congratuations, first-time trail runners, on finishing a challenging course! Congratulations also to 12-year-old Jacob Smith, our youngest finisher, for completing the 10k. Some other notable performances include Megan Hall's overall win in the Marathon, over half an hour ahead of the next finisher, Brian Nelson's blazing fast 1:36:31 winning time in the Half Marathon, and 16-year-old Alexandra Lablin's second-place overall finish in the 10k.
Special thanks also to the members of Whidbey Island Bicycle Club, who helped mark the course. Peteris Ledins also marked--the very long half marathon loop eastern segment--by headlamp. Many thanks also to the staff and volunteers who put in a long day; without them, we could not put on events like this.
We'd like to get your name and result right, so please let us know if there are any problems.
