About 450 runners and walkers are expected to compete, starting at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Campus at 1033 Old Blyn Highway. Competitors will head west toward Sequim on the Olympic Discovery Trial before turning around at the 5K and 10K turnaround points and then back east toward the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal campus.

Proceeds from the event go to several local organizations, including the Peninsula Trails Coalition, which builds and maintains the Olympic Discovery Trail.
