Get ready to run, slurp, and sip at the inaugural Bivalves and Brews 5K! This isn’t your average 5K—at each mile marker, daring participants have the option to chug a brew and swallow an oyster, making for a race that’s as entertaining as it is questionable (depending on your taste buds). Whether you’re in it for the speed, the spectacle, or just the shellfish, this is one run you won’t forget.

The run takes place on Sunday June 8th, 2025 at the Arcata Marsh (I street parking lot). This is an all ages event. Check out the Arcata Bay Oysterfest website for registration information.
