Introduction
I am James Steller, an avid amateur athlete, and board member of the Coupeville Schools Foundation, and parent of Grant Steller, a 7th grader in Coupeville Middle School. Last year, you may remember Circumnavigate Whidbey by Foot, an effort that successfully raised about $15,000 that directly supported the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools. Unfortunately, it also ended up with me in the hospital after day 2 BUT it was also had a wonderfully happy ending when the community rallied and finished it for me, relay style!
That night, in the hospital, I promised my wife I wouldn't run over 31 miles at a time anymore so I avoid future scary hospital visits. But I was inspired by our gorgeous island and how we all came together.
May I present Circumnavigate Whidbey: 2018 - The Traverse!

What is Circumnavigate Whidbey: 2018 - The Traverse
On labor day weekend 2018, I am organizing a 2 day Circumnavigation of Whidbey Island. Each day will be a combination of different human powered disciplines including running, road biking, kayaking and swimming!
Day 1 will start and end in Coupeville, circling the perimeter of the south end of Whidbey and will cover approximately 90 miles;
Day 2 will start and end in Coupeville, circling the perimeter of the north end of Whidbey and will cover approximately 60 miles;
In total, we are talking 120 miles of biking, 24 miles of running, 8 miles of kayak, and 1 mile of swim

Fundraising To Support Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools
It is a worthy adventure, but the primary goal of this attempt is to raise money for this non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides roughly $25,000 per year to support Coupeville educators and scholarships for seniors. Last year, Circumnavigate Whidbey generated $15,000 from supporters such as you!
What is our goal?
1. No one gets hurt, ends up in the hospital or dies
2. To raise at least $7500 to support the Foundation's great efforts
3. To finish and celebrate our island
