We’re excited to share that registration is now open for our 10th Annual Oyster Classic 5K, taking place on May 3! We’ll be promoting the race widely in the coming weeks, and now is the perfect time to begin securing corporate sponsors to help make this year our biggest and best yet.


Check out our OC5K Sponsorship Sheet, which outlines several sponsorship levels starting as low as $250, including logo placement on our registration website.

Sponsors at the $1,000 level or higher will also have their logos featured on our official race t-shirts. Please note: the deadline for t-shirt logos is March 15.


All proceeds from the race directly support our after-school programs for Harbor School students, so every sponsorship makes a meaningful impact.

If you or someone you know may be interested in sponsoring through a business, employer, or personal connection, we would truly appreciate your help in spreading the word.


Thank you and see you at the starting line, May 3, 2026!
