The setup and management of this race was awesome. It was my first Orca running race and everything was super smooth. Lots of photo spots, well marked course, plenty of restrooms, etc. The course itself was beautiful, but I’m from Poulsbo so maybe a bit biased. I didn’t mind the out and back, as the views of the mountains, water, and trees were great. The only negatives were that the course is not “flat and fast”, there were some decent hills. Also a lot of the course was very hard on my ankles because of how sloped the roads were. So either wear lower stack shoes or do some ankle conditioning before this race. Finally, this race had the coolest medal. It’s this awesome stone(!) medal with a Nordic dragon and runic letters etched on it.

Amazing PR course that is downhill and fast! It’s a point to point route along well maintained, paved trails. The trail was pretty popular on a Saturday morning, so you do have to watch out for cyclists and other people using the trail. The trail is a mix of woodland and farmland and not amazingly scenic, but there are occasional views of stunning rivers and the last stretch through town is fun. We had some shuttle hiccups that interrupted the overall production, but otherwise it’s a well orchestrated race. I would recommend getting someone to drop you at the start to avoid the shuttle loop. Weather-wise this one could be warmer being in late September, but it was overcast and cool enough for some fast running. I’ll probably run this again next time I want a PR. I was able to run sub-2 hrs on this which was my goal.
