2nd annual Orcas Island Trail Runs

Wind, sleet and snow did not stop 113 trail runners from starting the 2nd annual Orcas Island Trail Runs at Moran State Park. Runners chose one of two distances - 25 kilometers (approximately 15 miles) with 3700 feet elevation gain or 50 kilometers and 7700 feet elevation gain. The good turnout slowed the registration, and delayed the scheduled 8:30 a.m. start by about 10 minutes. Runners who assembled at Camp Moran checked their equipment, clothing, water and food choices. Family and friends wished them well. For some it would be a long day.
