To paraphrase a classic line from Jerry McGuire, “You had me at beach.” Race to the Bar has two course options for runners and walkers, and yes, both involve the beach. The 5K and 10K courses both start at the Peter Iredale Shipwreck and follow an out-and-back course on hard sand, with the longer distance getting to the South Jetty before returning. With the event starting at 5pm, this is a great event for the…
It’s once again time to Race to the Bar! No, not that bar . . . but there will be post-race beer involved after you run along the beach (ahem. . . sandbar!) This annual evening race at Fort Stevens State Park is a fundraiser for the Lower Columbia Hospice. Choose from a 5K or 10K and run along hard packed sand – starting at the Peter Iredale shipwreck. Both courses are out and back, with…

The bar you’re thinking of comes later. This one is talking about the Warrenton sand bar! The 2017 Race to the Bar is a 5K / 10K evening beach event that starts at the Peter Iredale Shipwreck site and runs to the South Jetty (or sooner for the 5K) for a simple out and back course. The event ends with a bonfire and music on the beach! There will also be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd…

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.
