Never Say Never Half Marathon & 10K

Lace up for the final edition of the beloved Never Say Never Half Marathon & 10K on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the charming town of Tieton, Washington. This event, held at French Canyon Farms, is renowned for its runner-centric approach and welcoming atmosphere, catering to both first-timers and seasoned athletes. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 69°F and lows around 38°F, alongside a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The picturesque course offers a balanced challenge with stunning scenery. The 10K features one sizable hill around mile two, followed by a mostly flat route to the finish. Half Marathon participants will encounter the same early climb before transitioning to rolling hills for the remainder of their journey. Runners will be well-supported with nine water stations and six bathroom opportunities along the way, plus an enthusiastic crowd cheering them on. Unique to this race is the "NO-Judgement-Tap-Out Van" for those who need an early exit.

Beyond the course, the Never Say Never Half Marathon & 10K is celebrated for its significant charitable impact, with past races contributing thousands to local youth and women's organizations. This year, proceeds will benefit Nathan's Place, a vital community hub for local youth. Celebrate your accomplishment at the vibrant, free-to-attend finish line party featuring delicious food from Tacos Don Chayo, local beverages from Shorthead, Tieton Cider, and French Canyon Cellars, yard games, a raffle, and the "WHEEL of FUN". Top finishers will even take home unique flying pig trophies. For those looking to extend their stay, camping options are available at El Nido.
