Winter trails, darkness and all the weather - a fun holiday celebration at Olympia's amazing Squaxin Park. Registration open now.
Kevin Taddonio leading the race, arriving at the Crown King aid station (36.6m). He took a moment to reset = new shoes/shirts, etc. before heading out alone, ahead of the rest of the field.
So far his competitors are letting him lead without the rush of trying to close the gap so early in the race.
