Good Luck Wishes from Chuckanut 50k previous Winners!

When I was out on the course last weekend making my way along the ridge I was thinking of how quickly our speedy category winners have to move along those trails to get back to Fairhaven Park as fast as they do. I thought it would be fun to hear some encouragement, tips from what they learned, and well wishes for your race this weekend. I got some lovely responses to share with you all. The uniting thing about these individuals is that they are kind human beings that truly love this community, and they love to run. They love the trails and encouraging others. And they’ve all won the Chuckanut 50k, but more importantly had a blast running it. Thank you to Hayden, Ellie, Francesco, Adam and Joey!
