Although the April showers are incessant, the truth is that June is not that far away. Bring on the summer! And with it, my first US race of 2017 – the North Olympic Discovery Marathon! OK, the truth is I’ll be running the half marathon rather than the full, but NODM is a better acronym than NODHM, right? This will also be my first BibRave race of the year – and I’m so excited because I’m going to have the chance to meet some of my fellow BibRave Pros while I’m there!

Let me tell you a bit about the North Olympic Discovery Marathon, and why you should be running it, too!

Scenery

The North Olympic Discovery Marathon was voted “Most Scenic Racecourse” by Northwest Runner magazine in 2015. The course is a point-to-point that includes the Olympic Discovery Trail, and finishes with 5 miles along the shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Here’s the course map:

Boston Qualifier

Should you be one of those runners aiming for Boston in 2018 (this does not include me), the North Olympic Discovery Marathon is an official Boston Qualifier!

BibRave will be there!

At last count, there will be four BibRave Pros running the North Olympic Discovery Marathon this year. I haven’t had an opportunity to meet many other Pros, so I’m really looking forward to getting together – face-to-face! Learn more about being a BibRave Pro!
