The winning school will be announced by Anacortes Schools Foundation on social media the week after the race. Follow ASF on Facebook and Instagram to be the first to find out who the winner is!

For virtual racers, I am just going to leave this here and acknowledge that at least I don’t personally have to worry about making this call on the day of race!  If you choose a yucky day to exercise, that is your prerogative.

For the official event day, the Race Director reserves the right to cancel, delay or reschedule the race based on the weather conditions. Although rain and wind may be normal for the Northwest, conditions such as high wind warnings or lightning may necessitate changes for the sake of our runner and volunteer safety. In the event of a change, unfortunately no refunds will be given.
