Description
This race is all about YOU! Every decision we make has YOU in mind. This is a race designed for everyone from first timers to seasoned racers. It is a picturesque course with one sizable hill around mile 2 followed by flat road for the rest of the 10K and rolling hills for the remainder of the Half Marathon.
There will be NINE water stations this year. There are six bathroom opportunities, and lots of fans cheering you on along the way.
We are again partnering with BOX, a nonprofit organization founded by women, dedicated to building connections that support women and girls. In 2021 we donated $4,100 to the Highland School District, in 2022 we donated $2,000 plus products to Davis High School, in 2023 we presented a $3,000 check to Rod’s House plus a ton of period products, and in 2024 we were beyond proud to write an $8,300 to Children's Village. This was our biggest donation by far!!!! This year we are proud to announce we raised $9,000 for Yakima's YWCA! We are still trying to figure out who we will be sponsoring in 2026.
Flying pig trophies will be back again for first, second, and third place women and men runners and walkers for the Half Marathon and the 10K.
However, if even a 10K doesn’t sound fun come for the Finish Line Celebration Party! This is FREE to attend and welcome to all! Come cheer on the racers, get fabulous grub from Tacos Don Chayo, get refreshed with local beverages, play yard games with or without your kids and partake in our BEST raffle yet! And the WHEEL of FUN will be back again for even more prizes!
