We invite you to join the mass migration of Pacific shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl and songbirds.  Their shoreside respite is framed against the pristine backdrop of coastal glaciers and mountains, the breathtaking vista that we call home.  Come armed with your binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, sketch books and pencils and leave with a heart full of memories.

Schedule

Below is the initial Schedule for the 2024 Shorebird Festival to help with your travel plans. We are recommending festival travelers fly in on May 2nd and leave on May 6th. If festival goers would like to stay an extra couple of days to view peak migration time we suggest an itinerary of May 2nd-8th to enjoy the full scope of the migration. Keep an eye out for the official schedule with detailed events to be posted as we get closer to the festival.

Bay to Bay in May

Power yourself from Hartney Bay to Orca Bay. Choose from:

  • 9.1 mile run

A great point-to-point adventure along a very scenic stretch of road. The fastest times will be published, but the prizes will go to the most average male and female times. That’s right, try to get the median/average time and you may win a fully customizable Copper River Fleece Jacket gift certificate.

Families are encouraged to participate together, or you might want to finish with a friend. All ages welcome. Free event. Not a relay.

Runners will start at 11 am sharp and bikers will start at 11:30 at Hartney Bay. All participants or their parents will need to sign a waiver, but this can happen the morning of the event. PLEASE get there a little earlier if you need to complete a waiver! It is recommended for participants to sign up in advance. There will be no shuttle service from Orca Bay, so coordinate a pick up from a friend or family, or for some of you, just run back to town to pick up your bike. For more information, to sign up, or to volunteer please contact CCMC primary care office at 907-424-8200. See you there!
