Background
The original Geoduck Gallop was established in 1984, but only lasted through the
following year. Formerly a pledge run/walk, in 2006 it was re-invented as a Half
Marathon and a 10k road run/walk. The race was set up as a qualifying course for
Evergreen Track and Field Team members wishing to run the standard for the NAIA
National Championships Marathon and opened to the public.
Benefits
We are proud to partner with the Thurston County Food Bank in an effort to
address the issue of hunger in our area. Participants donating a 4 cans of food*

to the Evergreen Cross Country Team's fundraising efforts.
*Canned food donations such as canned fruit or meat items (tuna, spam,
chicken) are especially appreciated.
