Sunday, December 10, 2017 – Rainshadow Running hosted the Deception Pass 25k at Deception Pass State Park in Washington. The sold out race is known for its rugged coastline, steep cliffs, dense forests and great views, as well as being one of RS’ “faster” courses with 3,000 feet in elevation gain. “The race covers just about every inch of the park, running at times right at sea level and other times high above on bluffs and hills and twice crosses the pass itself via the historic Deception Pass Bridge, which sits about 180 feet above the water.” Scarlett set off at 8:30 am on Sunday from the West Point Amphitheater (the race also hosts a 50k and kids 1k race).

Scarlett had a phenomenal day, taking 2nd F behind Bothell’s Paige Pattillo (Graham ran a 2:17:20, Pattillo ran a 2:08:34), and 7th OA. The overall winner was Joshua Musson of Juneau, AK, followed by Dave Melanson from Squamish, BC in 2nd, and Mike Orton of Seattle, WA in 3rd. 2017 Results can be found HERE!

Rainshadow Running is known for their great post race parties, and encourage people to stay post their race to cheer on other racers as they come in. They had live bluegrass music, fresh, wood-fired pizza by Pizza Jim & Co., and more.

Congrats to all the racers in the 1k, 25k and 50k, and many thanks to Rainshadow Running for yet another incredible event!
