Cove 2 Clover
Please See website for all event dates and times for race and pub crawl
www.covetoclover.com
This is like no other race you have run. It is hard; suffering is the name of the game as you climb and climb up the ominously named "Snake Hill". Indeed, it is brutal but at the top of the hill runners are rewarded with the ethereal music of a Highland piper and beautiful views of Puget Sound. When we suffer together, we emerge more united.
