It’s only the 2nd year this race has taken place so it’s still a bit rough around the edges with some room for improvement.

Was very bad weather when I ran it so I didn’t get to see much of the scenery that folks talk this race up for.

I hope they improve the ending and starting areas a bit.

Be prepared for the massive hill in the middle of the course. I underestimated it. It’s legit like 2 miles straight uphill.

I really enjoyed the course. Cool views of the mountains and it’s just challenging enough with the two notable big climbs you do.

On this particularly hot day, there was one approximately 9 mile stretch without water or aid station that kicked people’s butt. So, if the aid stations stay the same in the future, I’d say be prepared for that section.

Personally, I had a bad day due to an asthma attack but was still able to finish. I think it was due to me not being used to the elevation.

All in all, I’d recommend this race. If I lived closer, I’d definitely run it again.

Would run again and would recommend to other runners!

Pros:
– Course is overall pretty beautiful. Alpine trails on pavement that have plenty of creeks and bridges. Even the portions that go through the city of Sequim are pretty neat. Definitely a cute little town.
– Loved the last 2 miles of the race as it ends next to the sea where you can see large boats and the finish line in the distance.
– It was ran fairly well for it being a small town race.

Cons:
– The first couple of aid stations could have used more volunteers. Since runners are densely grouped up that early in the race, the waters were all being taken up quickly. I had to skip the first aid station since I didn’t want to wait around for water.
– The course was about 400 feet of elevation gain more than what was on the course map.
