Run Your Bass Off
About this race
We hope you will join us for our annual 5k Run/Walk event supporting the Olympia Bass Fishing Team! Our youth fishing team travels all over the state competing in tournaments in the Fall and Spring. We are dedicated to teaching our young anglers the joys of fishing and promoting teamwork and sportsmanship. Your support will help with tournament fees, travel expenses, and equipment needs.
