Yakima River Canyon Marathon and Half-Marathon

Join us for one of the Pacific Northwest's most scenic Boston Qualifiers. Our marathon and half marathon point to point courses travel through the spectacular Yakima River Canyon on a USATF Certified course along paved Washington State Route 821 between Ellensburg and Selah, WA. Awards: We will offer overall and age-group awards this year. Awards will be distributed in real time at the finish line -- check for results at nsplit.com/results . Details below. Cutoff Times: We will enforce cut-off times this year. Those who feel that cannot complete the race comfortably in seven hours are urged to contact the race director and ask for the early start, which is two hours before the 8 a.m. regular start. We offer the early start for those anticipating they will be on the course for six-and-a-half hours or more, and the race director must approve your participation in the early start. Early starters are not eligible for age-group awards, which are handed out in real time at the finish line. Thank you for your understanding. Price Increase: Marathon and Half Marathon prices increase by $10 on after Feb 27. Sign up early! Registration is online only, and there is no in person registration on race day or the day before. Race Deferrals: If you decide to defer your entry to next year, the deadline for informing us is Feb. 27. Half Marathon Limited to 200 Runners: As in past years, entries will be capped at 200 in the half-marathon due to logistics involving bus transportation. At this point, we have no limit on marathon participants. RACE HEADQUARTERS: Selah Civic Center, 216 South First Street, Selah, Washington.
