JH Rhody Run

The Jefferson Healthcare Rhody Run is a community-focused event held annually in Port Townsend, Washington, featuring 12K and 5K races that showcase the town's scenic beauty. The 12K course starts and finishes at Fort Worden State Park, winding through rural areas with views of mountains, woods, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The 5K course also begins and ends at Fort Worden, offering a shorter route through the park's picturesque landscapes. Organized by the Port Townsend Marathon Association, a non-profit dedicated to supporting local youth and school sports programs, the Rhody Run emphasizes community involvement and volunteerism. Proceeds from the event are reinvested into the community, supporting school sports programs and youth-oriented non-profit organizations.
