Yakima River Canyon Marathon

The Yakima River Canyon Marathon and Half-Marathon is a scenic point-to-point race held in Washington State, running along the Yakima River Canyon between Ellensburg and Selah. Both the marathon and half-marathon courses are USATF certified and offer spectacular views of the canyon on paved Washington State Route 821. The marathon features two major hills and a net downhill finish through Yakima Valley's orchard and ranch country.

The half-marathon starts at the marathon's 13.1-mile mark. The event includes aid stations every 2-3 miles, finisher medals, T-shirts, and real-time awards for overall and age-group winners. The half-marathon is limited to 200 runners due to bus logistics. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
