Scenic course, very hilly, no spectators

Summary: Hilly. Perfect weather. Nice scenery. No spectators. Not a BQ course. Except it was.

Beautiful

Beautiful but very difficult course....just not a PR course. Very well organized, few spectators, but very friendly and enthusiastic when you see them. Would be a great destination race. My only complaint, and it's minor, is no Gatorade on course. There's Nuun and it's a little sporadic, so next time I'd run with a bottle of sports drink. Volunteers very helpful and friendly.

Beautiful, challenging course

Great, small race. Well run, beautiful scenery, GREAT volunteers. Oak Harbor was very hospitable. Nice medal & shirt. I loved this race, even though the hills make it moderately tough. I recommend it.
