Event Description

Join us for our 11th annual 5K/10K family and dog friendly event hosted by the PARC Foundation.  This fun run first began with a grant from Thurston County Public Health to work with employers to promote changes in their work environment and culture to promote employee health.

Over the years it has evolved to become one of Thurston County's best ways to promote outdoor recreation and physically engaging family fun.  Open to kids, adults and dogs of all ages, with t-shirts and prizes.

The event starts at Horizons Elementary in Lacey, runs along the Chehalis-Western Trail and returns for the finish at the elementary school.  Come splash in the puddles with us in we celebrate fall in the pacific northwest!
