The Westport Maritime Museum & Grays Harbor Lighthouse is host for this 5-mile Fun Run/Walk in the beautiful coastal town of Westport, Washington. The USATF-sanctioned, scenic course is flat and fast. Race starts and finishes at the historic Westport Maritime Museum overlooking Grays Harbor. Runners and walkers travel the paved State Park Dunes Trail along the Pacific Ocean and past Washington's tallest lighthouse. The annual event benefits the Westport-South Beach Historical Society which operates the Museum and Lighthouse and is a non-profit group dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of the South Beach, with an emphasis on natural resources, and advocating for preservation of our local Historic Structures in our Maritime Community.
