YAKIMA COUNTY, Wash. – Runners in the Pacific Northwest are gearing up for the scenic Yakima River Canyon Marathon and Half Marathon.
The event features USATF Certified courses through the picturesque Yakima River Canyon, stretching from Ellensburg to Selah.
Registration is available online only, with no in-person registration on race day or the day before.
The half marathon is limited to 200 runners due to logistical constraints, but there is no cap on marathon participants. Those who need more time to complete the race can opt for an early start, beginning two hours before the regular 8:00 a.m. start. However, early starters won’t be eligible for age-group awards.
Awards will be presented in real time at the finish line, with results available here. Participants can pick up their race packets on Friday, March 28, from 3:00-8:00 p.m. at the Selah Civic Center, or on Saturday morning at designated locations.
For more details about the course, maps, and records, participants are encouraged to visit the official website.
