Strawberry Short K 5K Run/Walk

This year marks the 88th annual Strawberry Festival at the South Bay Grange in Olympia. Historically strawberry fields surrounded the South Bay Grange. "The fields are gone, but the community continues."  Join us as we start the celebration with our Strawberry Short-K 5K Run/Walk.  Our route begins at the South Bay Grange and continues in a flat loop that returns by way of the beautiful Chehalis Western Trail.  

Our first place finishers in each category will receive a complimentary Strawberry Shortcake with all our runners enjoying fresh berries at the finish.  Additional prizes will be awarded, in a drawing, provided by our fabulous sponsors.

Spend the day with us at the Strawberry Festival with food, vendors, activities, and performance presentations from 10 a.m to 3:00. Entry into the festival is free!

Proceeds will benefit South Bay Grange community Center and Thurston County youth enrichment programs.

Sign up today and we'll see you at the Festival!
