The 36th annual 8.8K Loop Run is Saturday, Aug. 17. That’s Day 4 of the county Fair.

Sponsored by Island Rec and Xtreme Fitness, the Loop Run, or walk, if you prefer, begins at 9 a.m. near the intersection of Spring and Second streets (in front of Friday Harbor Drug).

Participants can register online, at www.islandrec.org, or in person at the Island Rec office, 580 Guard St., 1-5 p.m., or on the day of the run, in the parking lot of Wells Fargo Bank, which doubles as runner check-in, from 7:30-8:45 a.m.

An awards ceremony follows the run, with medals awarded to the top three finishers in five separate age categories.

Registration fees: $25, age 13 and up, and $20 for children 12 and under. Registration includes a Loop Run t-shirt and free pass into the San Juan County Fair on Saturday.
