About the Yakima River Canyon Marathon

The Yakima River Canyon Marathon offers runners a unique and scenic experience through the heart of Washington's beautiful canyon country. Starting in Ellensburg and finishing in Selah, this point-to-point course follows the winding Yakima River, treating participants to breathtaking views of basalt cliffs, rolling hills, and diverse wildlife. With a net downhill profile and mostly paved roads, the race provides an excellent opportunity for personal records. Well-organized aid stations, enthusiastic volunteers, and the chance to spot bighorn sheep along the route make this marathon a memorable adventure for runners of all levels.
