Background
The original Geoduck Gallop was established in 1984, but only lasted through the following year. Formerly a pledge run/walk, in 2006 it was re-invented as a Half Marathon and a 10k road run/walk. The race was set up as a qualifying course for Evergreen Track and Field Team members wishing to run the standard for the NAIA National Championships Marathon and opened to the public.
Benefits
This year we are proud to announce that we will be joining with The Thurston County Food Bank in an effort to address the issue of hunger in our area. Participants donating a minimum of 4 items of food* will recieve $5.00 off of their entry fee. Entry fee's will also contribute to the Evergreen Cross Country Team's fundraising efforts.
*Canned food donations such as canned fruit or meat items (tuna fish, spam, chicken) are especially appreciated.
