Run along a course that lies about two hours northwest of Seattle, the Quilcene Oyster Half Marathon starts and finishes at the amphitheater in Quicene, near the intersection of Center Road and East Columbia Street. From there, the route takes runners across a bridge over the Little Quilcene River as well as over plentiful hills that look over Hood Canal, with views of the Olympic Mountains in the distance.
