This run is a celebration of what Northern State has to offer with the new trails built by the Skagit Trail Builders!
This event is a one man operation. There is no clock, no bibs, no times (everyone but me wears a watch), no aide stations, and best of all NO FEE!
Yes, there will be the traditional mass start at 10 AM and a finish line will be marked. I will start the race and lead you up to the trail system then turn around a position the sandwich boards for directions to the finish. Yellow for 10K/Orange for 4 Mile…..two different finish lines!
The idea is for runners of all abilities to gather to come experience the beauty that Northern State has to offer by running on two handcrafted bridges over Hill Creek then through the towering Cedar, Douglas Fir, and Spruce trees.
After the race, runners can enjoy the fellowship with those who ran with you while sharing the beauty of what you had just witnessed! Treats will be provided by Starbucks and Skagit Runners.
The course will be well marked with mile markers in place, And yes, both courses are accurate!
No Dogs or Strollers. Sorry but the trail is too narrow.
PS: Remember this is a public trail system. I will put up warning signs a week before the race but more than likely there WILL be people and dogs on the course. Can't do anything about that.
