Course and race services
Most of the course runs on paved, traffic-free sections of the Apple Capital Loop Trail along the Columbia River, with views of the Cascade Mountains and several park and bridge crossings. The half marathon crosses the Columbia River on the Odabashian Bridge. Aid stations are located about every 2 miles and supply Skratch energy drink and water; there are energy gel locations at roughly mile 6.5 (half), and miles 10 and 20 (marathon). Stations also carry Vaseline and Band-Aids. A first aid tent will be at the finish and EMT support will be available.
Packet pickup and on-site registration take place the day before the race at Performance Footwear and Outdoor Gear. Finishers receive a custom finisher medal. Chip timing is used and results are posted online immediately. Spectator viewing is available at the start/finish, riverfront trail, Walla Walla Park, and Confluence State Park. Parking is available east of Wenatchee Avenue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
