Never Say Never Half Marathon and 10K

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

The picturesque course offers a balanced challenge amidst stunning scenery. Both the 13.1-mile Half Marathon and the 10K distances feature one sizable hill around mile two. For 10K participants, the route then flattens out for a speedy finish, while half marathoners will navigate rolling hills for the remainder of their journey. Runners will be well-supported with nine water stations and six bathroom opportunities along the way, including HUMA gel packs at select water stops, plus an enthusiastic crowd cheering you on. Adding to its unique charm, the Never Say Never race offers a "NO-Judgement-Tap-Out Van" for those needing an early exit.

Beyond the course, the Never Say Never Half Marathon and 10K is celebrated for its significant charitable impact, raising funds for local youth and women's organizations, with this year's proceeds benefiting Nathan's Place, a vital community hub for local youth. Celebrate your accomplishment at the vibrant, free-to-attend Finish Line Celebration Party, featuring delicious food from Tacos Don Chayo, local beverages from 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.
