PORT ANGELES — It just keeps getting longer.
The third annual Rain-deer Fun Run set for 1 p.m. Dec. 20 now is 10 kilometers, or 6.2 miles, up from 4.7 miles last year and a quarter mile in 2001.
Registration forms are available at the Port Angeles Parks and Recreation Department, Port Angeles City Hall, Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Vern Burton Community Center, Olympic Mountaineering, Sound Bike and Kayak and Mike’s Bikes in Sequim.
The registration cost until Friday is $15 for adults and $10 for those 17 years old and younger. Entries received after Dec. 12 will cost an extra $10.
Race proceeds will benefit the Port Angeles Parks and Recreation scholarship fund.
“We had people tell us last year that they wanted a 10k,” said Port Angeles Recreation Services Manager Jerry Cole.
“So we measured and measured and measured again. The only way to do it is to go beyond Morse Creek,” he said.
