Organiser's Description
Set in Coupeville, WA, on beautiful Whidbey Island, this race will offer you amazing views and course like no other. Runners will begin their adventure on the south side of the seaport community of Coupeville. You will have the unique opportunity to traverse both Ebey's Prairie and Crockett Prairie within Ebey's Landing National Historic Preserve offering spectacular, panoramic ocean and prairie farmland views.
