Washington > Indian Summer Half Marathon & 5K
Richland, WA • Saturday, September 22, 2012 • Course Map
More than 400 runners come out to compete each year in both races combined in the late summer running of Richland's Indian Summer Half Marathon & 5K, which takes participants on a scenic out-and-back course that starts at the Columbia Point Marina and runs along the banks of the Columbia River, with views of the water for nearly the entire route as it follows the Columbia River Trail to the turnaround point and back.
From the marina, the course takes runners along the trails that wind through both Howard Amon Park and Leslie Groves Park, both of which lie along the riverbank. After they make the turnaround at the Washington State University Tri-Cities campus, they'll get to see the scenery a second time on the way back in to the race finish line at the marina.
Quite appropriately named for the warm weather conditions that can still be in effect in Richland this time of year, the half marathon starts at 8:00 AM (followed by the 5K at 8:10) and feature views of the beautiful fall leaves that are just beginning to turn as the summer gives way to autumn in this part of Washington State.
