The wheelchair participants will start at 7:55 a.m. All participants will go north on Canyon Road, turn right onto Berry Road, go east to Tjossem Road, and then .2 mile on Canyon Road. Next will be the Woodhouse Loop Road from north to south, and back to Canyon road for the remainder of the 26.2 miles. The finish line is located at the "truck turnaround" just north of the Sundown M Ranch in Yakima County. All Half Marathon runners and walkers will be bused to their 9:30 a.m. start at the 13.1 mile mark of the full marathon. They'll use the last half of the course of the full marathon.

In the past, we've had as many as 535 participants who have come from many different states, Canada and from various other parts of the world. We hope to have 400 (more or less) participants this year.
