Event Details
The Run Like the Wind event in Westport, Washington, offers three race distances on a scenic coastal route. The available distances are:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 10K Run
- Half Marathon
Course Information
All races start and finish in front of the Junk Queens/Tackle Box at the marina. The courses use the paved Westport Light Trail. The routes begin by passing the Fishermen's Memorial and proceed around Half Moon Bay and through Westhaven State Park.
The 5K turnaround point is on the trail. The 10K route continues south for ocean views and a loop around the Westport Lighthouse before returning. The Half Marathon route also goes around the lighthouse before a 5.7-mile segment on the beach, running in the sand, prior to the return to the marina. The course is described as rolling and fairly flat.
Participant Information
All participants who complete their run receive a finisher's medal. T-shirts are provided at packet pickup: a short-sleeve shirt for 5K and 10K participants, and a long-sleeve shirt for Half Marathon participants. Awards are presented to first-place male, female, and non-binary winners in each race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
