Charles Bowes Invitational "Honorary Sub-26 Club".

Here's a little bit of background, and history of success along the course at Willamette University. Often placed as "the place to PB"- The rolling course features steep asphalt uphill, followed by flowing packed bark trails-A very spectator friendly course were Marek's voice can be heard throughout. I've been retold many stories involving UBC's dominance on this course, and it seems we are headed back in that direction over the next few years.  I'd love to hear some stories of how the Alumni found it racing on this course, how it compared to other races they may have run that year or just stories and experiences of the course we've been returning to for eleven seasons.
