About the Event The Jefferson Healthcare Rhody Run is organized and produced by the Port Townsend Marathon Association, a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and encouraging runners of all ages—both in the school system and in the community at large. Nearly all aspects of this event are made possible by volunteers, and proceeds from the Rhody Run are returned directly to the community in the form of funding support for school sports programs and youth-oriented nonprofit organizations. Our goal is to produce a race where all runners—champion and beginner alike—feel that it is their race.
