Candy Land Run

Take a magical journey through a life-sized Candy Land! Walk, hike, or run as you relive one of your favorite childhood games as a real-life adventure. Enjoy some of Tri-Cities' local trails, visit the candy-themed stations for a variety of treats, and meet special Candy Land characters. 

This event is a fundraiser for Mirror Ministries. All proceeds and entry fees will go directly to support Mirror Ministries, an organization of people who embrace a vision of hope for victims and survivors of sex trafficking. We work toward this vision knowing God’s grace is reflected in each one of us as we pray, serve, and give to show survivors their true worth.

This sweet adventure will start and end in the parking lot of Candy Mountain in Richland, WA. We offer three different routes depending on your ability and how long you want to stay in Candy Land. All routes will be on trails. You will be given a fun map for each route, and the stations will be marked on it. The longer you participate, the more treats you get!
