Dubbed as the hardest half and full marathon in Washington State, this race is sure to challenge anyone looking for a nontraditional experience in the woods near Grays Harbor. Located in Capitol Forest near Rock Candy Mountain, this race leads you through heavily forested trails to beautiful views before the finish line. However, to get to the end, the trail takes you up steep climbs, muddy paths and over fallen branches. Limited to 300 participants, each runner will get a t-shirt and all finishers get a commemorative beer stein. This is a tough race, but is great fun for those looking to push themselves on a unique run.
The Aberdeen Music Boosters’ jazz auction and dinner will be a lively evening of silent and live auctions that take place between student performances.
Admission is free. Dinner tickets are available in advance at Rosevear’s and Flowers by Pollen, or at the door.
Dinner will be served from 5:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.
The auction is possible thanks to the generosity of Aberdeen families and businesses. Proceeds help support our district’s music program and fund music scholarships.

In 2015, Dugan’s Pizza in Ocean Shores will be holding the 30th edition of their Dugan’s Pizza Fun Run, making it one of the longest lasting races in all of Grays Harbor. Starting across the street from Dugan’s Pizza, the 5k and 10k are half on the road and half on the sandy shores of the Pacific Ocean. The course is incredibly flat, with the run along the beach always popular no matter the weather. This is a great family-friendly running event, with a youth mile and kids dash all part of the day’s festivities. Celebrate 30 years of running by heading to Dugan’s Pizza for the annual fun run, you will have a blast!

This a opportunity to clean out the closet and trade up!
How it works: Bring items of clothing in clean, useable condition and receive one ticket for each item. No clothes with stains and tears will be accepted. Then shop from others that have brought in and purchase with your tickets! Each item will get you one ticket and each item will cost one ticket.
All clothes left will be donated to Labor of Love and Aberdeen Missions.

What better way to celebrate the return of hundreds of thousands of shorebirds than by lacing up your shoes and running through the streets of Hoquiam. With a race shirt and a goodie bag for those who pre-register, this race welcomes both runners and walkers who enjoy getting out and running as thousands of migrating shorebirds and hawks fly overhead. Mostly flat and weaving through the city and near Bowman Field, those who participate in this run will not only get fresh air and a great experience, but will also have a deeper connection with the city and with the Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival. Fun for all ages, this run shouldn’t be missed.
