An evening run on the beach followed by a bonfire, music, and watching the sunset . . . That sounds like the perfect end to a day at the Oregon Coast. That’s what you’ll enjoy at Race to the Bar on September 12. Racers will start at the Peter Iredale Shipwreck and run an out and back 5K or 10K course on hard packed sand.
This 3rd annual evening run at Fort Stevens State Park is a fundraiser for Lower Columbia Hospice. This is the only hospice program serving Clatsop County. Lower Columbia Hospice is a non-profit organization providing end of life care to terminally ill patients and their families. Their mission is “to provide comfort care in absence of a cure for life limiting diseases.”
Besides the great location and atmosphere of this race, participants will receive Subway sandwiches and fruit, a race t-shirt, free parking, and 2 servings of Fort George Beer (for those 21 and over.) An awards ceremony will follow the race at the finish area.
