The Cortes Half Marathon starts at Smelt Bay this Sunday, Sept. 19, at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

The idea grew out of the runs that Peter Wrinch, CEO of Hollyhock, made during the pandemic: a friend suggested they organize a marathon.<\/p>\n

The Cortes Market and Cortes Natural Food Co-op partnered with Hollyhock to sponsor the event and volunteers came forward from the community.<\/p>\n

There will be a 5k, 10k and 22K run.Runners pay a registration fee, which ranges from $5 to $25 depending on their route.<\/p>\n

The proceeds will be used to pay for event costs, but the organizers are also hoping to use this event as a fundraiser.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny remaining money will go to the Last Stand for Forests<\/span><\/a> in support of the Fairy Creek blockades,\u201d said Wrinch.<\/p>\n
