Join the celebration of the 31st annual 5K and 10K Beach-to-Chowder Run/Walk followed by the Doggie Olympic Games at Long Beach and the Garlic Festival at Ocean Park, Washington.

Spend the weekend in the sun running a 10K on hard-packed beach sand with ocean waves breaking just a few yards away; or, run or walk a 5K on the beach. Work up an appetite with the race of your choice, then get ready to taste clam chowder while your non-participating family and friends enjoy the Peninsula. Following the race is the annual Garlic Festival held throughout the weekend in Ocean Park and the Saturday Market on the Ilwaco waterfront. In addition, enjoy the 2nd Annual Doggie Olympic Games on the beach in front of the Boardwalk.
