I have been doing this race for 12 years so I have ran all the iterations of it during trail construction and COVID times. It is always a great race I love the course and Orca running in general. The finish this year though was not good. It was a mini “snake of death” reminiscent of the “snake of death” finish the year it ended in the Sunset beach parking lot. Thankfully it was not as many turns this year but it still was a poor way to finish making it very tough to push to the end for a time. Also the u-turn on the sidewalk and run down through the bushes on a path to the mini snake was not a favorite. I’m unclear why running into the park through the side road to where the finish has been the last several years is such an issue. Hopefully it will be improved next year!

I’ve been running this race for 10 years and was thrilled it was back as an in person option in 2021. Orca did an outstanding job with the COVID requirements it was organized so well. The small waves in a common pace made it comfortable from a distancing standpoint, and allowed it to still be competitive. The start line was fun and upbeat even without the crowds. I actually wouldn’t mind if it always worked this way! The finish was also well done. Free, awesome race photos are the best! I missed the vendor booths and hanging out like in past years, hopefully in 2022 we can get back to post race celebration!
