Walk - Run - Hike - Ruck Details:
This sweet adventure will start and end in the parking lot of Candy Mountain in Richland, WA. We offer two 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! Service animals only; must be leashed at all times
Each finisher will get a wooden finisher medal. Awards will be given to the Top Overall male and female (1st, 2nd, 3rd place) in the 3.5 mile distance. RUCK finishers will get a special ruck patch.
3.5 mile will be chip-timed by Eastern Oregon Sports Timing. 1.25 is not timed and is just for fun!
