Cougar Mtn Series Is Underway!

With perfect weather and fast trails, the Cougar Mountain Series kicked off Saturday with its 5 mile race (view our images!). Joseph Gray not only crossed the line first, but faster than ever before with a course record time of 30:19! Mona Deprey was the womens winner with a time of 39:03! Check out the full results at nwtrailruns.com. Congratulations to everyone who participated, and thank you to everyone who helped volunteer. It was a great start to the series, and we all managed to raise $3700 for King County Parks!

The next race in the series is the 8 miler, scheduled for Saturday, June 16th. If you haven’t yet, register and be a part of it!

Uli Steidl wins Masters at the Boston Marathon!

Congratulations to our own Uli Steidl, who just took home the Masters win at the 2012 Boston Marathon! Uli also finished 15th overall at the historic race, and was the 5th overall American to cross the finish line. His time was 2:23:08. Uli was about two minutes behind 42 year-old Franklin Tenorio at the halfway mark (13.1 miles), but slowly reeled him in and passed him with about 5k to go.

He was no so lucky to escape the grip of rookie reporter Shoeless Joe, who sat down with Uli shortly after the race to talk about a number of things, the actual Boston Marathon unfortunately being a little low on the priority list. Read the interview…
