Event
Details
A scenic out-and-back half marathon that takes runners on a tour of the
Columbia River Trail in the southeastern part of Washington state, the
Indian Summer Half Marathon is aptly named, as the weather can still be
quite warm in Richland this time of year. The race is most definitely
among the state's smaller events, with fewer than 100 participants for
the 2006 running of the event, which starts at 9:00 AM at the Columbia Point
Marina on the Columbia River, and takes runners along beautiful fall
foliage along the trail -- and also includes a 5K race.

The weather tends to be dry with mild to moderately warm temperatures
in the early fall in the Richland area, as September brings average

with less than half an inch on average during the month.
