Salt Creek 24 to raise money for United Way

JOYCE — Registration is open now for a new version of the Salt Creek 24, which will benefit United Way of Clallam County partner agencies.

Peninsula Adventure Sports has partnered with United Way to host the Salt Creek 24 Hours of Giving fundraiser set for March 21-22 at the Salt Creek Recreation Area west of Port Angeles.

Walkers and runners — solo or as a relay team — can choose any of the United Ways’ 25 partner agencies to receive the donations of those who have pledged money to them.

In addition, Peninsula Adventure Sports will donate 10 percent of registration fees to the United Way.

The more participants fundraise, the less they pay in registration fees (normally $85 per person).

“Offering a fundraising option for the new Salt Creek 24 event really enriches the event, and I’m really excited to partner with the United Way,” said Lorrie Mittmann, race director.

“Walkers and runners will have a fantastic time while also helping the community.”

In the Salt Creek 24, participants complete as many loops as possible around the recreation area in 24 hours.

Runners and walkers get all the food and drinks they might want during the 24-hour period, plus a pancake breakfast when the clock stops on Sunday morning. This includes hot food specialty hours such as “bacon hour” and “mashed potato madness.”

Each registered participant receives a custom Salt Creek 24 piece of swag, a chance to win prizes, a poker run at midnight, automatic loop timing and published results.
