The Jefferson Healthcare Rhody Run is scheduled for May 17, 2026, at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington. The event is organized by the Port Townsend Marathon Association, a charitable non-profit. Most aspects are run by volunteers and event proceeds are returned to the community to support school sports programs and youth-oriented nonprofit organizations.
Two race distances are offered:
- 12K

Updated 2026 course maps are available on the registration page. Parking at Fort Worden requires a valid Washington State Parks Discover Pass and is limited.
