Welcome!
The Washington Lightkeepers Association (WLA) is host for this 5-mile Fun Run/Walk in the beautiful coastal town of Westport. The USATF-certified, scenic course is flat and fast. Race starts and finishes at the historic Westport Maritime Museum overlooking Grays Harbor. Runners and walkers travel the paved State Park Dunes Trail along the Pacific Ocean and past Washington’s tallest lighthouse. The annual event benefits the WLA, a non-profit group dedicated to the rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, and perpetuation of Washington’s lighthouses, lightships and rich maritime history.
