Race Information

The Oyster Races are USATF certified Half Marathon and 10K with a 5K fun walk/run held annually in Quilcene, WA, to fund scholarships for local students through the Brinnon/Quilcene Dollars for Scholars program. There will be free servings of gourmet grilled oysters and a free locally crafted beer (over 21 yrs) for every runner, plus a beer garden with regional food vendors. The race courses take runners through the beautiful foothills of the Olympic Mountains and along the shoreline of Quilcene Bay.

The races begin and end at Worthington Park, site of the recently restored Victorian-era Worthington Mansion. Great scenery, awesome volunteers, and support for good causes make this a "can't-miss" event!

Run Pick of the Month - Jewel of the Valley

 Run along the Yakima Greenway Trail - May 11, 2024.

This race is part of the Run Super Series, it features a 5k, 10k, half, and full marathon.

One of the things we like is the terrain on the course. The run follows the mostly flat Yakima Greenway, however, you'll get full views of wineries, crops, and undulating terrain unique to the region. 

Expect well supported out and back courses that are USATF certified (BQ eligible). Every participant will end up with a finisher medal and custom race shirt and a neck gaiter.
