Quilcene Oyster Races
The Quilcene Oyster Races is a community run and walk event held in Quilcene on the Olympic Peninsula. Events begin and end at Worthington Park, adjacent to the recently restored Victorian era Worthington Mansion. The local setting includes woodlands, water, and mountains.
The event features multiple distances:
- 1/2 Marathon Run/Walk
- 10K Run/Walk
- 5K Run/Walk
- FREE Kids' Sprint (ages 1 to 8)
- Duo 1/2 Marathon Run/Walk
- Duo 10K Run/Walk
- Duo 5K Run/Walk
The Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K are USATF certified and sanctioned. Duo events pair a participant with a rider in a jogging chair or stroller; the Duo 5K allows baby strollers and wagons. Riders register for free.
Proceeds benefit Quilcene-Brinnon Dollars for Scholars, which provides scholarships to high school seniors, recent graduates, and teachers to assist with post secondary and continuing education. Registration includes a commemorative finisher medal, one serving of local oysters after the race, one local craft beer for participants 21 and over, and a free open house at Worthington Mansion.
