Event Details

Race organizers report that a near-record number of runners took part in this year's Snake River Canyon Half Marathon, which welcomed more than 450 runners for the 2007 event. Chilly temperatures with little to no wind -- a first in the event's history, they add -- prevailed. Organized by Pullman's Palouse Road Runners, this half marathon takes participants on an out-and-back course along the Snake River on Wawawai River Road, with the starting and finish lines at Wawawai Landing, site of the Washington State University boat landing area.

Flat and paved, the course takes participants along the river at an elevation of about 720 feet above sea level, and reaches its turnaround point at Water Canyon, where race organizers will be waiting to point you in the right direction so you don't head off in the direction of Missoula, Montana.
