Set for its 46th year on Saturday, July 15, 2023, the Olympia Lakefair Races are part of a weekend-long running festival that features a Half Marathon, 8K and 3K; taking runners on routes that will circle around the town of Olympia and beyond into Thurston County and Tumwater.
All three races start on 5th Avenue in downtown Olympia, and finish on 5th Avenue in front of Heritage Park. Once runners have completed the course, they can enjoy festival activities that are held all around Heritage Park including food and beer tents, carnival rides, booths, a parade and more. Well80, the events hospitality sponsor, will also be open for meals a few blocks from the Finish line.
