Event overview
The Never Say Never Half Marathon & 10K takes place Saturday, May 2, 2026, at French Canyon Farms in Tieton, Washington. The event offers two distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
The race is USAFT sanctioned and is organised as a fundraiser. For 2026 the designated beneficiary is Nathan's Place, a community project that provides a supervised gathering place for local high school students; the race description notes the building was damaged and needs support.
Course, services and onsite features
The course includes one sizable hill around mile 2, followed by mostly flat road for the remainder of the 10K and rolling hills for the remainder of the half marathon. There will be nine water stations and six locations with bathrooms along the course. HUMA gel packs will be available at water stations 3, 5, 7 and 8. Flying pig trophies will be awarded to first, second and third place women and men runners and walkers for both distances. A finish line celebration is open to everyone and includes a food truck, local beverages, yard games, a raffle and a "Wheel of Fun." Camping options are available by reservation at El Nido, with van and tent sites and shared amenities such as a group fire pit, picnic tables, potable water, handwashing station and port-o-let; some van sites offer electrical hookups. Nearby hotels are available in Yakima and Selah. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
