Half Marathoners will pass by Aid Stations 1, 2, and 3 twice. Elevation gain for the Marathon is roughly 300ft.

Pre-Race Activities:

Packet Pickup will be in the Fleet Feet store near the start, from 4-7pm Friday 10/25. Sometime between 5-6 we will have a short shakeout run if we get enough people, then a short info/Q&A session after. While you're there, have a look around the store. Try on a pair of trainers, racers, or insoles; stock up on your favorite nutrition products, or even get yourself a Fleet Feet T-shirt to train in for 2025! Whatever it is you need, the team at Fleet Feet is eager to help you run your best!

Don't worry if you can't make it on Friday evening. You can pick up your packet on Sunday morning starting at ~6AM (or a bit earlier if you're taking the earliest start.)

IMPORTANT: If you pick up your packet on Friday, you still need to check in on race morning before you start. It takes less than a minute and helps us to keep everyone safe out there.

Race Day:

REMEMBER: Marathon / Relay starts at 8:00AM. Half Marathon starts at 9:00AM. The address is 50 Comstock Street, Richland, WA.

If you need more than 5 hours you may take an early start at 6am or 7am. Requesting this option in advance is NOT required, but it is helpful so we know how many to expect. Both early starts will be in the dark, so visibility gear is highly encouraged, and you should be prepared to be self-sufficient until the aid stations open.

It's best to arrive at the start at least 60 minutes before your start time for warmups and check-in. There is plenty of parking at the hotel and 1/4 mile away at Howard Amon Park. We will start lining everyone up about 10 minutes before the start; you can still get a few short strides in at this time. We will listen to the National Anthem, then make any last-minute announcements, then send you on your way.

Awards ceremony will begin 15 minutes after we have winners for every age group in both races. This will likely be between 12-1pm.
