"Every participant cheered as a winner" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


Gourgeous course, enthusiastic, supportive aid stations, and cheering spectators made this event a fun and memorable marathon. I hope to make this one a yearly treat.

"Great Race" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 4


I had a great time running on this course. Not too easy, not too hard. Did anyone else think that there might have been a long mile near the turn around, or was I just slow?

"What an Exciting Run/Half-Marathon" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


If you like to run and you did not do it this year, you have to do it next year. It is a beautiful course. The crowd brought you in to the finish line with a breeze. Living in Port Angeles, I get to run on this trail daily, but to be part of the first run was so exciting to me. You've got to do it. Everything was great :).

"This Run Rocks!" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


Congratulations! Once again, residents of the Olympic Peninsula redefined the meaning of community. The June 15 inaugural North Olympic Discovery Marathon was a smashing success! From the children?s xylophone band, neighborhood aid stations, whistling busty cowgirls, smiling seniors, Sequim High School cheerleaders, Virginia Mason aid station, career runners offering support, all the way to being personally led by the arm through all the wonderfully staffed post-race aid stations, you guys rock!

Add to this a great route showcasing the beautiful Olympic Peninsula. Mix in great traffic control, superb organization, and a large dose of sunshine, and you have the best little marathon in Washington!

"It was fun!" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


I did the half. Course was very nice; couple of steep hills at about 5 to 6 miles, but you get to run down them on the way back. The people were great! When you cross the finish line, every runner gets escorted through to the recovery area ...very nice touch! It would be better to start the race earlier (8:00 or even 7:00). I do plan on running this one again.

"I run on this course every week - it is beautiful!" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 4


There is no better venue for a world-class marathon than on the Olympic Discovery Trail (mostly paved) - a point to point race from Sequim, WA to Port Angeles, WA! Surrounded by mountains and water - the last five miles are along the Strait of Juan de Fuca - no traffic and a fast finish. The community spirit and enthusiasm is in full swing. This is going to be a FANTASTIC event! Come join us for the inaugural running June 15th.
