This past weekend held the 24th Annual Haggen to Haggen 5k, the 37th Annual Sunflower Trail Marathon, and the 41st Annual Bloomsday! Across these three incredible and well established Washington races, we had four athletes competing. First up was GBRC’s Haggen to Haggen 5k, our local Bellingham race, which is THE quintessential place to nab a PR, and our girl Hazel did just that with a finishing time of 18:49! For full results go HERE!Saturday, May 6th also held the Sunflower Trail Marathon in the Methow Valley in Mazama, where our babes Nikki and Scarlett raced, having camped out the night before in a hostel. The Sunflower Trail Marathon begins at 2,180 ft., and “includes well marked deer trails, single track trails, and gravel roads. Stunning views of the Methow River, North Cascades and Chelan Sawtooths abound from flower carpeted meadows and fields. At two points, racers climb to 2,600 ft. The finish is at about 1,600 ft. in Twisp.” Despite a fall where Nikki was scraped up and covered in blood, she took 1st Female and 4th Overall in 3:42:11, and Scarlett was 3rd Female and 8th Overall in 3:47:29! For the Sunflower Trail Marathon results see HERE!On Sunday, May 7th, Courtney raced Bloomsday in Spokane, WA, her 2nd showing, the first having been back in 2013, with fellow WWU alums Danielle (featured above) and Kyle Lampi and Jordan Welling. Bloomsday features over 50,000 runners on average and honors International, US, Washington State and Masters athletes with an incredible prize purse. Despite a weeklong sickfest, Courtney snot-rocketed her way to a 3rd Washington State Female Finish, and was 26th Female, PR’ing at the race and distance in 44:48. For Bloomsday results go HERE!
