This marathon is the best kept secret in the great Northwest. The
organization and marathon staff aim to please and do they ever! Shirts, medals,
support and after marathon treats were terrific. If you want to experience
hospitality at it's best come to the Skagit Valley marathon.

Couldn't have been better! (2005)

I thought it was an incredible experience for being my first. It was
totally flat - which was really nice. There were plenty of water and GU
stations. The kids were so great at cheering us on, as were several others that
were riding their bikes ahead of us. There was plenty of food at the end also.
Everyone involved did a great job. I will look forward to coming back again next
year!

They are not kidding when they say flat.
Pros are
1. Good food selection after the race
2. Peaceful surroundings
3. Nice people
4. Plenty Hammer gel and other gel packs handed out on the course..
5. Day of race sign up available

Cons
1. Smells like cow shit from about mile 2-3 (very slight)

There were almost no spectators, but the the few that were there were
awesome. Over all I would say it was a nice change from larger races that I have
done like Seattle San Francisco and Vancouver. ps Seattle Sucks
