Join the fourth annual Surf & Sun Walk & Run!

March 21, 2026

Starting and ending at Florence Event Center, this family-friendly race will loop along the estuary and through beautiful downtown Florence.

At Home Option

Need more than 1 day for a 5k? Challenge yourself to walk, run, or move your body however works best for you for as many miles as you can from March 10th- 21st. Embrace the spirit of adventure and the thrill of making a difference. But don’t stop there! Rally your friends, family, and colleagues to support every mile you conquer. With their donations, you’ll amplify your impact and help Oregon Shores protect coastal ecosystems, landscapes, and communities. Join us in Florence on the 21st for the after-party to celebrate your success!

Here’s a breakdown of what at-home participants will do:

Walk or run a minimum of 3 miles (just under 5 kilometers) on the coast or other natural public lands, getting your steps in and enjoying the outdoors while supporting coastal conservation.

Encourage friends to honor their walk or run by donating to Oregon Shores in support of the miles they run or walk. Participants will join our Givebutter campaign page as team members, making it easy for supporters to contribute to them directly.

Complete the registration form, including a $25 registration fee, to join. As a token of appreciation for everyone’s commitment to preserving our coastal ecosystems, participants will receive an exclusive Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run long or short sleeved athletic t-shirt, which will serve as a reminder of their accomplishment and dedication to the cause.

Sign up before March 1st to receive your shirt before the start of the event.
