Cool start — fast day potential, warming through the race

A cool 48°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temperatures rising to 61°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info

The Yakima River Canyon Half Marathon is a point-to-point run on paved Washington State Route 821 that starts at the 13.1-mile mark of the marathon course. Runners are bused to the start and follow the Yakima River downstream through the canyon, with many curves and a long downhill toward the finish in rural Selah near the canyon's mouth. It runs on the Saturday of race weekend and ends in the Yakima Valley orchard and ranch country.
