Recap written by Heather Findlay
A beautiful course through one of Washingtons most scenic trails. We Runners were blessed with a gentle downhill course and the first ~2miles within the Snoqualmie tunnel - a slightly eerie experience as the darkness of the tunnel swallows you up upon entry. The perk? It’s cool and damp… if only that lasted the full marathon!
Missing the cool temps of the tunnel we enjoyed truly breathtaking views of the old railroad trail crossing over train trestles and flanked by aspen and pine trees and the odd babbling brook.
Pro tip - quick 30 seconds to utilize the brook as a natural ice pack does wonders mid run.
The runners may have dubbed the race as Dante’s inferno but it couldn’t stop the smiling faces and determination of the Runinn family in crushing their race goals! We had several repeat marathoners/half marathoners along with several marathon first timers!!
A unique race trail experience and unforgettable heat wave but the most memorable part? The support of the Runinn family - nothing beats the roaring cheers as you cross the finish line, the sweaty hugs and embraces, and of course the well deserved group dinner and celebration that ensued.
A huge congratulations to all of our Jack & Jill runners, for crushing your goals, keeping a positive mindset and supporting your teammates through 🏃🏼♀️🏁
