Christmas in July Half Marathon Richland 5K
Race Day Weather
Warm start, big temp swing
A warm 74°F start means heat management is critical — consider dialing back your goal pace by 10-20 sec/mi. Temps will climb significantly to 94°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The 5K starts and finishes at Leslie Groves Park in Richland, Washington, and runs out and back on the paved river trail beside the Columbia River. Runners head south from the park to a turnaround about halfway and return to the finish at the park. The course is flat and fast, which makes it a common first race distance.
