Never Say Never Half Marathon & 10K
The Never Say Never event is a multi-distance running and walking competition held in Tieton, Washington. The race features a picturesque course through the Yakima area, starting and ending at French Canyon Farms. Participants can choose between two main distances, with specific categories available for both runners and walkers:
- Half Marathon (approx. 21.1 km)
- 10 km
The course layout begins with a notable hill near the second mile. Following this elevation change, the 10 km route transitions to flat roads for the remainder of the distance. Those participating in the Half Marathon will encounter rolling hills throughout the rest of their course.
On-course support includes nine water stations and six bathroom locations. Select water stations provide energy gel packs for participants. The event is USAFT sanctioned and features a competitive element with flying pig trophies awarded to the top three male and female finishers in the running and walking categories for both distances.
The event serves as a fundraiser for local community organizations, with recent proceeds benefiting the YWCA of Yakima and Nathan’s Place. After the race, a celebration is held at the finish line featuring various local food trucks, beverage vendors, and lawn games. For those traveling from out of town, camping options are available nearby at El Nido, and several hotels are located approximately 20 to 30 minutes away in Yakima and Selah.
