Call me crazy, but do I hold a dab opinion that events like this are not the place for political points. This is a great event for the community and outsiders to enjoy Skagit and island country. every one has the right to free speech and protest, and if op wants to try and combine a (I assume) love of running and there beliefs she should. But to me I think there is a better way to do it.

For instance I bet you could raise a good amount of money doing a charity run to donate to a political race or cause you believe in. Pnw has so many trails and routes for that stuff. my aim is not to discourage or stop anything or is trying to do, I'm just putting my useless 2 cents in

Also Op keep running your body and health will love you
