New 5K and 10K Course Start!
For the 2026 race, the start route has been redesigned to create a smoother, more efficient start for all participants. Instead of turning left out of the WSU VETMED parking lot, runners and walkers will now turn right onto Grimes Way and proceed east toward Lincoln Drive. This revised route is expected to significantly reduce congestion early in both races, improve participant flow, and provide a safer and more comfortable start experience for everyone involved.
