Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, the first two in-person events of the season — the Elwha Bridge Run and Railroad Bridge Park — will have limited registration spots available. These two in-person events are expected to fill very quickly.

The 2021 Run the Peninsula Race Series medals highlight local tribes. The Port Angeles Marathon Association partnered with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to create the 2021 medals.

The medals are based on existing tribal artwork and were designed in collaboration with the tribes. The medals magnetize to a wooden stand to form a tribal totem.

If people run all five races, they will receive a wooden totem as well. All medals and wooden totems are made in the U.S.

The North Olympic Discovery Marathon and Run the Peninsula series are made possible by support from volunteers; title sponsors First Federal, the Peninsula Daily News and Sequim Gazette; and race presenting sponsors Olympic Medical Center, Elwha Klallam Tribe, Delta Dental of Washington, Jefferson Healthcare and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe.

Additional information and details for all the events can be found at runthepeninsula.com and nodm.com.
