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.
Adults love Doctor Who too! Come to an adult after-hours party and flaunt your fandom. Get your picture taken with a TARDIS, vote for your favorite Doctor & more. Register at the Reference Desk or online: www.TRL.org. Sponsored by the Friends of the Aberdeen Timberland Library.

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!

Join us during this four-day cleanup as we help the 20 River Campers in cleaning up the area while a private benefactor negotiates with the City of Aberdeen for a temporary camp. We are half finished! But it is difficult to find people available during the week to help us because most every one is working. Please pass the word on about this – we can use as many people as we can get. Also supplies like water, trash bags, working gloves.
