SHUCK & SHARE

5K WALK/RUN, OCTOBER 6

Hundreds of walkers/runners show up each year to participate in the Shuck & Share 5K Walk/Run, happening on OysterFest Sunday. Proceeds from the race help fund Mason County PUD 3’s Project Share program.

Join us this year for a special milestone at the Shuck & Share 5K Run, marking its 10th anniversary on Oysterfest Sunday, October 6, 2024, at 8:00 AM. The event will once again take place at the Huff and Puff, conveniently located across from Shelton High School. This flat, scenic 5K loop has become a beloved tradition, attracting hundreds of runners and supporters each year.

Since its inception in 2014, the Shuck & Share 5K has played a crucial role in supporting Mason PUD 3’s Project Share program. This initiative assists low-income households, prioritizing those facing high energy burdens in accordance with the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA). Thanks to the generosity of donors and the funds raised through this event, Project Share has provided $175-$500 in annual assistance to over 400 families each year. As other sources of aid diminish, Project Share remains a vital lifeline for our community.

The Shuck & Share 5K has grown to attract around 100 runners annually, generating approximately $3,000 for the Project Share program. This success is due in large part to the dedication of Mason PUD 3 employees, local community members, and about 30 local businesses that sponsor and volunteer for the race.

Whether you’re a PUD 3 customer or a supportive community member, you’re welcome to join in the fun and make a difference. Register for the 5K at pud3.org/ run or visit Shuck & Share 5K 2023 (runsignup.com). If you prefer to contribute by donation, please make checks payable to “Project Share” and mail them to PO Box 2148, Shelton, WA 98584.

Let’s make this 10th anniversary a memorable one, as we come together to support a cause that has touched so many lives.
