COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This race is in my memory bank as a big positive. Starting with package pick up where they generously allowed me to swap out my men's shirt for a ladies. I prefer the 'V' neck. The pacer ran for the most part on her own, partly because I couldn't keep up, but wanted to. Plenty of aid stations, shirt, medal top notch. What an experience! | |

| 1 Skagit Flats Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my first 1/2 Marathon. I had a great time and the organization in this race made that all possible. First off, there were lots of drink stations throughout the race. This gave plenty of opportunity to drink water and get some energy gel at the 1/2 marathon turn. There were lots of volunteers at each water station. The course was well marked, and although the race is run on open streets, they did a good job of directing traffic around the runners. After the race, there was plenty of room for spectators, and they had water available right at the finish line. There was a posted clock as well so we could see our finish time. Plenty of snacks were provided to racers as well, very nice variety of goodies. I plan on doing this race again next year. Great job everyone! | |

"Ideal Small Race" (about: 2014)

| 1 Skagit Flats Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Wonderfully organized small race with a perfectly flat course, friendly volunteers and fellow runners, easy logistics and great shirt and medal. Unlike most small races, there are pacers too. Plenty of official and unofficial aid stations and a nice stadium finsih with nice food choices afterward. Maybe best of all were the free showers. The course was open and while most of the drivers were wonderful, there were a couple of drivers who need to learn some patience. The day was beautiful with sunny skies. Not much shade on course, so be prepared. All-in-all, a terrific small, fast race. | |

| 3 Skagit Flats Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Great smaller race put on by runners. With over 25 marathons done , big and small, this one stands out as what running is about, just getting out there and running. Flat course, no crowds, pacers, water stations, marked, a peaceful, showers in high school, and nice medal. Fun finish on the track and many great post race restaurants in Bellingham . | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I want to thank all the volunteers that made this race a huge hit this year. As I read the comments I realize there are a lot of people that need to be pampered. This was my 7th marathon. I have ran New York, Chicago, R&R Seattle, and a couple of small races in the Seattle area. Once I started running small races I realized this is what marathoning is all about. I don't need to be pampered. I sign up for races because I like the challenge. If it is windy, if is is hot, if there is ice, they are all challenges that 'I' must overcome. The race this year was awesome. The fog in the morning, the smell of salt water by the turnaround, the views of Mount Baker, the berry fields, horse pastures, farm land all give this race ambiance, and it takes me away. So the guy that complainted about the shirt that was too small, get real buddy, the lack of crowds, what did you expect!!! Wind, dust, heat, sun, blah blah blah, RUN MORE, train right, and run marathons because you like a challenge. This race was amazing, lot's of water, gel, food at the aid stations, porta potties (and I needed one) and it is chipped timed. Not very many small races have chip timing. | |

"Great Small town marathon" (about: 2013)

50+ previous marathons
| 2 Skagit Flats Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I ran the marathon this year. The course was well marked every mile marker exactly where it should be, great volunteers, water every 2 to 3 miles, nice fog in the am, a little hot (72 maybe) in the pm. I made my goal thanks to my great pacer. I have ran over 150 marathons and can always tell a race put on by runners, all the little things that matter were there. The food at the end was great in a nice covered area. The medal was amazing. I love small races that pay attention to detail. The big corporate marathons could learn a lot from a 'Runners Race. | |

"Pacer no shows" (about: 2013)

50+ previous marathons
| 1 Skagit Flats Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1 I, like many runners was looking for a BQ this year and thought Skagit would be a fairly fast course plus would have pacers to help me through. Well, several of the pacers decided not to show up race morning, including mine. I was really counting on him or her. I generally don't run smaller marathons. I like the crowds, I like the support. I like knowing that if they say something will be there, it will. Nice medal, crappy short sleeve shirt that ran at least one size small. Never again. | |

| 1 Skagit Flats Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Not a bad race. No expo, just a packet pick-up. The course is super flat, but be careful... That sea breeze can be a bear! Pretty much no spectators, but the ones that were there were great. I never though I would suggest this, but bring your headphones. It's just you and the grape vines for many miles. | |

| 1 Skagit Flats Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 What a spectacular setting - running past fields of blueberries and broccoli, eyed by palominos and eagles, ringed by snowy mountains and the Sound - Wow! I loved the intimacy of a smaller event, easy cheering by my devoted family, and the generous shower in the high school locker room afterward. Came to qualify for Boston and met my goal. Thanks to Eliza for finding me this gem of a race. Skagit Flats will always be a special place for me. |
