"Honestly one of the best, toughest, and most fun races I've ever ran in 20+ years of endurance events. Your volunteers were top notch. Every time I thanked them at an aid station they thanked me for coming out. Outstanding event from top to bottom." E.H. Middleton, Idaho

"This was an amazing experience! Great course support, beautiful views, and a challenging but fun route! It is definitely one of my favorite races. I also think that this half marathon course is giving Robie Creek a run for its money for the title of toughest half in the northwest! I can't wait for next year!" ~B. Campbell, Gresham, Oregon
