 Saturday, June 1st, 2024 for a Half Marathon, 10k, 5k & Fun 1 Mile. Run along one of Eastern Washington biggest landmarks, the Columbia River. Enjoy a scenic route on paved riverfront trail. This race offers you four different options; a distance for everyone in the family, group of friends or coworkers. The course will be flat & fast! Perfect for your first time to achieve one of these distances or set a new personal goal. The race will start & end at beautiful Chiawana Park in Pasco, Washington. Chiawana is a Native word for “Big River”.
 The Columbia River has provided this region's culture and economy for thousands of years. It is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest. The river forms in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada and flows through Washington. This Big River irrigates more than 6,000,000 acres of agricultural land. Agriculture is huge part of our community and is possible because of this valuable water source. The race course will have fun, themed aid-stations, cheer squads & bands along the way. You run the miles, we bring the entertainment and support! We believe your achievements should be celebrated. Invite all the friends and family to come watch you cross the finish line! Chiawana Park as beautiful shade trees, a big grassy park and a gorgeous view of the river. After the race sit, relax and enjoy some post race treats.
