It was great... until learning they reset clock!

Better course than 2008, but loss of sponsors

Hilly, but spectacular!! Best marathon memories!

Should not have been Runner's World Top Race

Tough, Hilly, Beautiful and Well-Organized

Good volunteers, but the rest, not so good

Perfect course, tons of food and great volunteers!

Want to see how strong you really are?!?!?!

Whidbey Islanders are wonderfully hospitable folks

Tough course, few spectators, hidden gels

Terrific Course, Terrific People, Terrific Race!

Excellent support, camaraderie and ceremonies

It wasn't as well organized as the last 2 years

Supportive and scenic, but why Sunday this year?

Thoughts after running the half-marathon...

Great Success, Challenging, and Beautiful

Beautiful course - needs more organization
